Millions tuned in from sports bars and their living rooms on Sunday to watch Super Bowl LIX. At the same time, soldiers in C. Company, 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, were in the field training at Fort Stewart, Georgia, when their first sergeant surprised them with a watch party projected on the side of a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle.
The architect of this particular field-grade Super Bowl Sunday was 1st Sgt. James Welch, who picked up pizzas, pop, and game day snacks for the company under the guise of a chow run.
Keeping the watch party a surprise was important to Welch.
“Only a few headquarters staff knew, as we wanted to genuinely surprise our soldiers and show our appreciation in an unexpected way,” Welch said.
