How Drew Brees helped me and a friend get through war and heartache

By Jackson Smith September 10 at 7:00 AM

NEW ORLEANS — In January 2010, I found myself at Camp Dwyer, Afghanistan, on my first deployment in combat as a young Marine infantry officer. Two major events loomed on my horizon: the New Orleans Saints’ march to their first Super Bowl win, and the largest single battle of the Afghanistan War.

As we made final preparations to cross the line of departure and invade the city of Marja, the Taliban’s last uncontested stronghold in Helmand province, I heard secondhand about the Saints’ victory in the NFC Championship Game. Days later, we boarded helicopters and headed into combat — most of us for the first time.

I ******* love Drew Brees.
 
I know people who cant stand drew brees. I cannot fathom that. Even if you arent a saints fan, this is just a high character individual.
 
I have a quote from Albert Einstein for the past 11 years as my signature in my email.

"Try not to become a man of success, rather try to become a man of value. A man of success will receive more than he gives, but a man of value will give more than he receives"


Drew IS that man.
 
Had to pass on to more people!

I can't help but to feel so proud that he is our Quarterback. He is everything that we want our Saints to be represented as. He represents everything that is good about professional sports and being a good citizen. He is New Orleans!
 
Choked up a little, not only that Brees took the time but what these two friends have done for each other.

Me too.

Not sure what else Brees can do make him greater than he already is, but he keeps doing it.

He truly is a SAINT!!!!!!
 
Drew's awesome and credit to him for taking those pics. But I'm really impressed with the bond of friendship those two guys have. That's special.

I wish them both all the best.
