New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham, Miami Dolphins kicker Brandon Fields and Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon are traveling on a weeklong tour throughout the Middle East to visit U.S. troops at military bases.

Below is a quote from Graham about the experience (quote provided by USO):

"This experience for me has truly been life-changing. The personal connection I've been able to make is something that will be with me forever. I grew up in a Military home and this just makes me more of a patriot. I have more of an appreciation for the little things we have back home each and every day."
