Falcons to make USO trip to Iraq

The Atlanta Falcons are conducting their own USO tour to visit active-duty members in Iraq this offseason.

Head coach Dan Quinn, center Alex Mack, guard Ben Garland, and kicker Matt Bryant will be among the Falcons who will visit members of the U.S. military at three bases.

"We are fired up to have this rare opportunity to show our appreciation for our troops and spend time with them during their deployment," Quinn said on the team's official website. "We have so much respect for what these men and women do every single day, and I think this is a great opportunity to show our gratitude to all the members of our armed services at these bases."
