Super Bowl Champs Visit the White House
WASHINGTON D.C. (August 9, 2010) The Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints visited the White House on Monday as a celebration for their accomplishments over the 2009-2010 NFL season. Among those Saints players are ASPE clients, Pierre Thomas and Courtney Roby.
Thomas scored the go-ahead touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV and the Saints never looked back after that. Roby also played a huge role in the victory on special teams where he gave his team great field position after his kick returns.
The meeting at the White House took place in the East Room, where Quarterback Drew Brees presented President Obama, the 44th President, with a No. 44 Saints jersey. Obama commemorated the Champions with a speech in which he said the team “lifted up the hopes and the dreams of a shattered city in the wake of the ravages of Hurricane Katrina.”
The team spent the morning in Washington playing football with kids from the Boys and Girls Club. Later, they visited wounded troops and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
