For Texans veteran middle linebacker Brian Cushing, supporting the military is a natural fit.
His father served in Vietnam. Both his grandfather and uncle served in the military.
So, it's a deeply personal cause for Cushing to lend a hand through his charitable foundation at the Texans and T-Bones annual charity event that was held Monday night at The Bell Tower.
"Very exciting," Cushing said. "I appreciate the support. It's something I'm pretty passionate about. Being here is a really cool experience. When it was time for me to build a foundation and do some charity work, it was really a no-brainer for me with all of my family that served.
