From a press release from the NFL: "Five current and former NFL coaches who are leaders on and off the field will launch a new tradition with the inaugural NFL-USO Coaches Tour. Giants Head Coach TOM COUGHLIN; former Steelers Head Coach BILL COWHER; Titans Head Coach JEFF FISHER; former Raiders and Buccaneers Head Coach JON GRUDEN; and Ravens Head Coach JOHN HARBAUGH will travel to meet and greet servicemembers for several days in the Persian Gulf region.
The NFL and USO have organized overseas morale-building visits for more than 40 years. In 1966, the NFL teamed with the USO and became the first sports organization to send a group of players to Vietnam and other parts of Asia, demonstrating the league’s support for America’s troops."
But hasn't Cowher been fighting America's enemies since the 1980's, starting with the Iron Sheikh?
