ANSBACH, Germany -- The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders and an assembly of National Football League Alumni players visited the U.S. Army Ansbach Garrison (USAG Ansbach) Dining Facility (DFAC) on Katterbach Kaserne for lunch to chat with Soldiers and share a meal during their 58th Military Appreciation Tour, 1 Feb.

The ever-popular Washington Redskins Cheerleaders (WRC), also known as “The First Ladies of Football”, were joined by Superbowl veterans Ricky “Slick Rick” Sanders, Reggie Branch (left), as well as six-time Pro Bowl selection Chris Samuels.

The tour participants were en route to Illesheim where the ladies of the WRC will entertain and perform for Soldiers and family members, demonstrating the dance moves and enthusiasm that have made them one of the NFLs favorite entertainers. Following their performance the cheerleaders joined by Sanders, Branch and Samuels will autograph images and memorabilia, pose for photos and chat with their many USAG Ansbach, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade (1ACB) and 12th Combat Aviation Brigade (12th CAB) service member fans.

The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders and their NFL alumni have chosen as a team to dedicate much of their time and energy to military service men and women and their families in both CONUS and OCONUS.

The tour was presented by Armed Forces Entertainment and Family & MWR.

As of August 22, 2016, they have been on more than 52 tours outside the US to bring a touch of home to all the men and women around the world. The ladies of the WRC were the first entertainers to go to the front lines of the Kosovo War in July of 1999 and also the first entertainers to tour the entire country of Iraq in one tour; visiting 20 FOB’s and Camps.
