A Soldier’s Time Begins at the Chiefs

The moment I walked inside and saw the four pillar statements of the franchise boldly displayed on its tall broad walls I KNEW I was in the right place: Honor Tradition, Inspire Our Fans, Unite Our Community, Win With Character – these are the values of the Kansas City Chiefs.

What I learned on my first day is that these values are not mere platitudes – the organization lives by them.

I imagine the founder of the Chiefs, Lamar Hunt, is looking down at the four pillars with an approving smile on his face.

Today was my first day at the Chiefs, and I wanted to get this down on paper before it all ran together.

Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for more stories of my impressions and reactions about a Soldier’s time at the Kansas City Chiefs, Helmet to Helmet.
