Quinn, who won the league's Salute to Service Award in 2016, believes the armed forces do team better than anyone and has said if he wasn't a coach, he'd be in the military.

Garland, the team's 2017 Man of the Year recipient, is a 2010 graduate of the Air Force Academy and currently serves in the Colorado Air National Guard, and Cannon is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

"The USO has a 52-year history of working with the NFL and its teams to support service members and their families. We're excited to work this year with the Atlanta Falcons to keep our service members in Iraq connected to family, home, and country," said USO senior vice president of entertainment Lorie Hennessey.

An extension of the NFL's Salute to Service – the league's yearlong work to honor, empower and connect service members through the unifying lens of football and strategic partnerships with impact-driven organizations – this tour marks one of many activations that the Falcons host for service members and veterans annually.
