Please find attached a picture of the USS PITTSBURGH SS-720 Crew, over in Crete, holding 100 terrible towels and rooting for the Steelers. The submarine veterans of the Requin Base, here in Pittsburgh, sent them the towels.

"Ben was so nice and this is the third year in a row that my brother and I got Ben's autograph." -- Sami
2013 Steelers Training Camp523 views“My son, Jonny Evanchick is six years old. He was thrilled to get to see Ben up close and even more excited to get #7’s autograph on his new Steelers football. After he signed it he ran back to tell me the good news and insisted that we go back and buy another football because we can’t play with the signed one anymore.
He also forgot to ask Ben if he wanted his necklace. He was wearing one of those sports rope necklaces and thought it would help Ben on the field and wanted to offer it to him. I explained that maybe you’ll see him again some time and that I’m sure he’s already appreciative that you’re a supporter of him and the team.
Needless to say, my son is a big fan of Ben and made me play catch with him in the dark so he can emulate his favorite player. With the second football of course. Thank you once again.†– Jonathan Evanchick
