As the July 4 holiday approaches, Colts players Coby Fleener and Pat McAfee remind us that we should not take the men and women who serve this country for granted.

The teammates recently teamed up with several companies, including retailer hhgregg, to give back to one army vet as part of a #ThankAHero campaign.

Not only is Erich Orrick an army vet, but he's also a single dad and president of "Wish For Our Heroes," a charity that helps military people facing hardships.

Fleener and McAfee participated in an elaborate scheme, even creating a fake TV show, to surprise Orrick with a full home makeover.
