Live From Afghanistan

Garrett called this morning and told us to watch Fox on Sunday because Fox NFL is coming to their base. I'm not sure if we are going to get to see him, but it will be neat to see a little bit of his life right now. Below is an article from the Fox Sports website so check it out. FOX NFL Sunday to host special from Afghanistan by FOX NFL Sunday, FOX Sports Updated: November 6, 2009, 1:32 PM EST During Sunday evening's postgame show The OT, FOX Sports announced that it would broadcast a two-hour special FOX NFL Sunday on Nov. 8 (11 a.m. ET) from an undisclosed military installation in Afghanistan. The team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer will do the special just three days before Veterans Day as a tribute to the dedication of America's service men and women. "Our men and women in the military put themselves in harm's way to protect everything we hold dear, and none more so than those who are stationed in the Middle East," FOX Sports Chairman David Hill said. "It is our privilege and honor to take FOX NFL Sunday to them in November, right before Veterans Day. Amidst the fun and football, it's our hope to showcase the dedication of these men and women who have to defend against a lot more than the wildcat." FOX Sports is doing the special in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment, the lead Department of Defense agency for providing entertainment to U.S. military personnel serving overseas. "Armed Forces Entertainment brings our men and women in uniform serving overseas a piece of home — to give them support during deployment," said Armed Forces Entertainment Chief and Air Force Col. Edward Shock. "And during football season, there's no better slice of Americana to bring to our troops overseas than the guys on FOX NFL Sunday. It's going to be one heck of an event and we salute FOX for their dedication and support of the U.S. military." This is not the first time FOX NFL Sunday will have originated from a military setting. In December 2000, FOX NFL Sunday broadcast two shows from the flight deck of the USS Harry S. Truman, then on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea.
