33 Fort Campbell soldiers to attend Super Bowl

Posted:

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - Fort Campbell says 33 soldiers are attending this year's Super Bowl thanks to the support of Tennessee Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams Jr.

The soldiers will represent the Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line at the game in Indianapolis as the New England Patriots take on the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.

The soldiers chosen to attend the game are part of the 101st Airborne Division and have all earned non-commissioned officer and soldier of the year awards, according to a statement from the post.

Maj. Gen. James C. McConville offered thanks to Adams, a WWII veteran, for inviting the soldiers and for his continuing support of troops.
