FOB HAMMER — The New Orleans Saintsations cheerleading squad visited Forward Operating Base Hammer, June 23, to thank 3rd Brigade Combat Team Soldiers.

FOB Hammer was the 12th stop for the cheerleaders on a tour of various bases in Iraq.

“It’s absolutely unbelievable,” said Tori Nunez, a cheerleader with the squad. “Being in America, you get a very different viewpoint of how things are out here. It has been amazing to hear what the Soldiers are doing. We are very excited to go back and tell everyone all the good things we’ve seen.”

The cheerleaders signed autographs and talked with the 3rd BCT Soldiers. Lt. Col. Ryan J. Kuhn, a Clarks, Neb., native, the 3rd BCT deputy commander, presented a certificate of appreciation to the squad.

“They did a wonderful job of lifting morale of the Soldiers,” said Spc. Coty Lowe, from Jacksonville, Fla., Headquarters Company, 203rd Brigade Support Battalion. “They were all very down to earth and friendly.”

For many of the cheerleaders this tour to Iraq was another way to say thanks.

“Of course, we want to thank all of the Soldiers that are out here, but it really meant a lot to us to meet the Soldiers that came down to New Orleans to help with the aftermath left after Katrina,” explained Nunez. “It was great to meet them and get to thank them personally. This was our small way of returning the favor for all they did for us.”

We are very excited to go back and tell everyone all the good things we’ve seen.

Too bad nobody ever spends much time listening to cheerleaders. All that bouncing around distracts from whatever it is they're trying to say. ;-)

“Is she an undocumented cheerleader? “

You mean her name? South Louisiana is full of Spanish surnames that go waaaaaay back. Many trace their roots to the Canary Islands and then back to Spain.

I was just teasing, sorry. I should have included a <\sarcasm> tag. :O)

[dfwgator]

I thought this meant they were visiting a “Friend of Bill” MC Hammer.

[Mila]

No offense taken at all,jdm. I just thought that I would share a bit of information about part of the culture of my home state:)

[snippy_about_it]

I dunno, they look a little thin to be shoveling foxholes and riding combat bikes.
