Tom Coughlin has spoken often about his admiration and respect for U.S. troops serving overseas. Now he's going to get a chance to tell them himself.
Coughlin will be part of the NFL's inaugural USO Coaches Tour, which will head to the war zones later this month. He'll be joined by Titans coach Jeff Fisher, Ravens coach John Harbaugh and former NFL coaches Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden on a trip that will likely take him through both Afghanistan and Iraq.
"I have always had great respect for those who served," Coughlin said. "In my time, we had the draft. Today, these people who are in Iraq and Afghanistan are volunteers. To spend time with them is to be able to sense the intelligence and the passion of these people and to stand in admiration and awe of this combination." Continue
It's amazing that we still have so many troops deployed after all the promises we believed with hopeful hearts. I personally thank Coach Coughlin for showing his support is such a direct way. God Bless America!
