A former Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader who joined the Army and finished two tours of duty in Afghanistan was ho**red Sunday night before the game between the Eagles and the Chicago Bears in Philadelphia.
Rachel Washburn, the 25-year-old former Eagles cheerleader, "was a freshman at Drexel University when a friend -- who also happened to be a cheerleader for the Philadelphia 76ers -- convinced her to try out for the Eagles cheerleading squad."
When Washburn made the squad, she was "an Army ROTC student at Drexel and a cheerleader for the Eagles."
"Initially, it was kind of a **velty to people I met if they ever found out," Washburn told USA Today. "It's kind of a bit of a shock. You don't expect those two things to go hand in hand with one person."
According to CBS Sports (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24383191/eagles-will-be-ho**ring-former-cheerleaderturnedsoldier), "Washburn made a trip to Kuwait in 2008 as part of a military goodwill tour with the Eagles cheerleading squad and that's when she decided that maybe she wanted to make the Army a bigger part of her life":
After three seasons of cheerleading with the Eagles (2007-09), Washburn decided she wanted to serve her country. Joining the Army wasn't Washburn's first taste of military life though. Washburn's father was a Army helicopter pilot and Air Force Fighter pilot.
In Afghanistan, she also once delivered a baby for a local woman who was caught in a s**wstorm.
Here is a description of Washburn's accomplishments from the Eagles:
Lieutenant Washburn was an Eagles Cheerleader from 2007-2009 and recently returned from her 2nd tour in Afghanistan, where she was deployed to the dangerous Logar Provence. During her tour, she served as a Platoon Leader for a Multi-sensor Ground intelligence platoon with the 3rd Infantry Division, and earned numerous ho**rs, including the Bronze Star Medal. She was also one of the first female soldiers in the Army's competitive Cultural Support Team, attached to Special-operations combat forces such as the Army Green Berets, Rangers, and Navy SEALs.
