Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham marked Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, by thanking US military personnel and their families.
Cunningham, who has frequently spoken about her support for the US military, shared a tribute posted by Academy Award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey on her Instagram Stories.
The message honoured those who have served, are currently serving, are preparing to serve, and the families supporting them at home.
“What we don’t write on this page, but we’ll be saying it from the stages and above the podiums today, is ‘to those who served, those in service, those in line to serve, and the ones at home for all of them, thank you,’” the tribute read.
Cunningham reposted the message alongside an American flag emoji.

She expressed gratitude for the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families, saying those sacrifices help protect the freedoms that allow others to pursue their ambitions.
“I’m grateful, and I support the people that serve,” Cunningham said.
She added that she wanted to recognise soldiers whenever possible, while taking pride in her background and American identity.
“Any time that I can shout out our veterans and the people that are fighting for us to live in the greatest country, I will always make sure to do that. I will always make sure that I show those individuals the love and support that they deserve,” she said.
