Vice president Mike Pence will be attending the Super Bowl later this evening. He left this morning in Air Force Two bound for Houston.
Air Force Two wheels up from @JBA_NAFW en route Houston where VP Pence will join some 72,000 others at the Super Bowl.

Patriots fan and White House press secretary Sean Spicer is going with Pence. But also joining him at the game will be two disabled soldiers.
VP invited 2 disabled soldiers along to the Super Bowl. "This is just a small token of our gratitude." Patriots fan @PressSec along too.

A small token but also a noble and worthy gesture on the part of the vice president.
