New Orleans Saints cheerleaders visit Iraq
The New Orleans Saints’ cheerleading and dance team, the Saintsations, special guests of Operation Catch Fish, provided a little piece of home to the Louisiana National Guard’s 256th Infantry Brigade Combat Team at Victory Base Complex, Iraq, April, 27. As Soldiers from Louisiana’s Tiger Brigade rose with the sun to conduct their routine physical fitness training, the day started out like any other, but quickly found its own way to imprint a memory that would not be forgotten. The dancers, Erin Buxton of Houma, La., and Jennifer Thomas of Slidell, La., dressed out in the army physical fitness uniform and literally got down and dirty as they completed various exercises to include push-ups, crunches and flutter kicks in the Iraqi dirt. Erin and Jennifer, joined by Soldiers from the 256th, ended the … Read entire article »

Cheerleaders brighten up troops working in Haiti
The posters advertising them around camp read punch lines and pom-poms, but these women are more than just pretty faces with witty senses of humor. Comedians Carole Montgomery and Leighann Lord, and Miami Dolphins cheerleaders Kellie Covington, Fabiola Romero and Amy Madill, make up the Hijinks and High Kicks Armed Forces Entertainment tour that visited Port-au-Prince from April 27 thru April 29. “We did three shows for the troops [here in Haiti] to show our appreciation,” Covington said. The women’s visit to Haiti focused around performing for the troops and boosting morale, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t get to do a little sight-seeing themselves. “We had a helicopter ride,” Lord said. “We were able to get an aerial view of Port-au-Prince and see some of the damage and some of the beauty … Read entire article »

U.S. dependents cheering in Okinawa
The cheerleaders at Kubasaki High School on Camp Foster say it takes a lot of hard work to be cheerleaders. “A lot of people claim that cheerleading isn’t a sport, but I … say that it is,” said Sarina Wolfgang, 17, co-captain of the Kubasaki Varsity cheerleading squad. “Cheerleaders are stronger than most other athletes because we have to lift other athletes, and are extremely loud and can go all game and not lose their voices,” said the Jacksonville, N.C., native. Cheerleading is more than football games and pom poms. Most high school cheerleading squads have a competition season all their own, and the Kubasaki cheerleaders are no exception. This year Kubasaki cheerleaders will attend a cheerleading camp hosted by the National Cheerleaders Association. The week-long camp teaches new material and fundamentals of cheerleading. Kubasaki’s … Read entire article »
