The Crimson Tide hit Columbus Thursday afternoon when the University of Alabama's head football coach toured the National Infantry Museum.
Hundreds of Fort Benning soldiers from Foxtrot Company 2nd/19th Infantry and the Wounded Warriors Transition Battalion shook hands with Coach Nick Saban as he made his way into the museum. "It was tremendously glorious for him to take time out of his day just to come and talk to a bunch of privates, but it was pretty cool. I respect the man a lot," said Private First Class Goldman Thomas. After a few autographs and a quick tour inside, the coach praised the discipline, teamwork, and leadership it takes to serve our country. Coach Saban told News Leader 9 how thankful he is for every soldier. "What they do to preserve our freedom, our safety as a nation. The sacrifice they make. I mean it is tough now just to get people to serve someone else let alone sacrifice to serve your country," said Saban.
