Denver Broncos teammates DeMarcus Ware and Taurean Nixon celebrated Thanksgiving a few days early and surprised four servicemen from Colorado's Fort Carson by serving them a homemade meal.

"People look up to us and say we are the stars," Ware said. "But the thing is, for us, you guys are the stars. You are the guys that we look up to, because you're going over and beyond in a whole different realm and keeping us safe. That's one thing that I know I'm thankful for."
