Nikki Bell, a cheerleader with the Philadelphia Eagles, holds a unit coin given to her by Task Force 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marines, Regimental Combat Team 5, June 6 at Camp Al Qa'im, Iraq. Bell and four other cheerleaders volunteered to visit deployed troops in Kuwait and Iraq almost two years ago, but certain circumstances made it difficult to achieve. "The five of us begged to go," Bell said. "We wanted to do it two years ago, but couldn't for security reasons."
