Drew Brees, along with Billy Miller (Saints) and Donnie Edwards (Chiefs) were at our exchange today for a USO tour, and we took our boys up to meet them. My youngest had on his Pro Bowl shirt my husband had bought him in Hawaii earlier this year, and Ryan decided he wanted to have the guys sign the shirt.
While we were waiting in line, Ryan asks me if Brees played in the Pro Bowl. I said he didn't this year, but that he had last year. Ryan is a bit of a firecracker, and although he's a good kid, he sometimes says things I can't believe comes out of his mouth. So I shouldn't have been surprised when he got up to Brees and says "I know you didn't make the Pro Bowl this year, but can you sign my shirt anyway?" I wanted to die! :hide: Drew says "whoa, whoa, whoa!" and proceeds to give Ryan a hard time and then everyone got in on it and it turned out to be hilarious. What a great group of guys! I've never even heard of Billy Miller, but he was great.
We really appreciate those who participate in these USO tours. It's an awesome organization and a great thing they do for the troops, bringing a little bit of home to those of us so far away. :flag:
