A distinguished veteran of the United States Navy and a long-time supporter of all of our country's armed forces, New Orleans Saints Owner Tom Benson greeted a group of Marines at the team's Metairie training complex Wednesday.

Members of the 6th Marine Corps District recruiting station out of Baton Rouge were given a tour of the facility after attending meetings with team officials. Mr. Benson showed the visiting Marines a variety of military memorabilia he has collected over the years. The visitors were then treated to a full tour of the complex, including the team locker room, weight room and practice fields, and were served lunch in the cafeteria.
