Particularly in Louisiana, our soldiers and airmen have already been in Iraq and Afghanistan. They've been in combat very recently - not that New Orleans is a combat zone.

...public battle with obesity as his weight crept at times to nearly 400 lbs.; after suffering a stroke; in Philadelphia. Just the third African-American umpire in major league history, Gregg thrilled fans by goofily dancing with mascots and infuriated those who claimed he had an unusually big strike zone...
