Richard Rosenblatt | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 15 years, 5 months AGO
Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, John Fox of the Carolina Panthers, Marvin Lewis of the Cincinnati Bengals and Brad Childress of the Minnesota Vikings visited troops in Germany and Afghanistan in the NFL-USO coaches tour. The first tour last year had five coaches traveling to Iraq.
The coaches spent 2 1/2 days visiting hundreds of soldiers at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul.
Reid said he has even greater respect for the troops fighting in Afghanistan after joining the other coaches on a trip to the country over the Fourth of July weekend.
