May 17, 2017 - Warrior Wednesday - Eric Ochoa963 viewsI served 8 years in the Marine Corps, and I’ve been a Steelers fan all my life. Born and raised in California, never been to Pittsburgh, but still a fan.
During my time in the Marines, I did two combat tours in Iraq and one to Afghanistan. I remember in 2009 waking up at 2 in the morning in Iraq to watch the Steelers beat the Cardinals in the Super Bowl.
In late 2013, I had the privilege to deploy to Jordan to train the Jordanian Army before they went to Afghanistan. During one of our driving courses, I pulled out my black terrible towel, I always kept with me, and asked some of the soldiers to take a picture with me holding the terrible towel.
I told them it represents the best football team in America. Hopefully one day my wife, kids and I can make it to Pittsburgh to witness the best players at home. #HereWeGo — Eric Ochoa.

Veterans Day, 20131103 viewsMembers of Steeler Nation UK salute our American Troops from WWII in a special way:
Andrew Duncan poses with the Terrible Towel during a break from a WWII reenactment he participated in this past October. His group is called "Normandy 44", and they honor the memories of the men who fought and died fighting for their country.
"I've been reenacting WW2 troops in the 29th Infantry and the 2nd Rangers for twelve years now. We've been to Normandy almost every year for D-Day to pay our respects to all who laid their life down. We also do schools talks about the unit and the history of what these heroic men went through during the war." -- Andrew

I wanted to see if you would have the photo posted on the board at the field during the game. I just want to make a tribute to him. He works so hard and has been a loyal Steelers fan since he was 7 years old." -- Susan Ellis

January, 2011 - Showing support from "the other side of the world"1720 views "I'm LTJG William L. Tschumy, USN, and I just wanted to share a photo of a buddy of mine from Flight School who also just so happens to be one of your team's greatest fans! His name is Lieutenant Junior Grade Bobby Telatovich, callsign, "Fun Bobby", United States Navy, and is currently forward deployed. Honestly, I'm sending in this picture because I'm not sure how those Terrible Towels made their way to the other side of the world, but they did, and I thought it would be cool to show the rest of America, and the world this picture of a Die Hard Steeler Fan! He's the dude on the right with the sunglasses, one of my best buds. Thank you!" -- LTJG Tschumy

It has accumulated over 450 combat flight hours and about 700 total flight hours. -- CW2 Jeffrey Jones
