The Patriots Are Sending Air Kraft To Super Bowl LV
The Patriots may not be in the Super Bowl this year but that doesn’t mean the Patriots plane will not be. Patriots owner Robert Kraft is flying 76 New England vaccinated health care workers to Tampa to watch Super Bowl LV in person.
“Last April, when our plane returned with masks from China, we never could have imagined the devastation this pandemic would cause, nor could we have dreamed of the heroic stories and achievements that have come to be as a result, especially the dedication of healthcare workers on the front lines and the creation of safe and effective vaccines,” Robert Kraft said in a statement. “Ten months later, it’s an honor for us to celebrate these healthcare workers by giving them a well-deserved break for a day and an opportunity to enjoy the Super Bowl, a reality that is only made possible because of the vaccines. We hope that in doing so, others are also encouraged to get vaccinated as they are able. Once again, we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of the healthcare heroes who have risked their well-being to ensure ours. They are truly superheroes to us.”
The Patriots plane flew to China last spring to help get over a million N95 masks to the New England region.
