Sam Perkins reflects on 'personal' USO trip to Afghanistan

Posted Mar 12, 2017
Sam Perkins was the one who, minutes after arriving in Afghanistan, so soon that he was still basically a 3-pointer away from the chartered 737 as troops greeted the VIPs, said, “You’re just in it now. It’s just surreal.” When it was over, he would define the visit. "They’re ordinary guys and women that are over there fighting. I’ll always remember them no matter what." (NBA.com)
