Good morning. Today's Kansas City Chiefs news has the Chiefs' Cheerleaders headed overseas, Ryan Succop getting hitched, and a look back at Star-Spangled Fails. Enjoy.

While overseas, the cheerleaders will visit hospitals, MWR Centers and multiple locations on bases for meet and greets during the day. The squad will perform a variety show for troops each evening and military personnel will get a chance to meet the women after each show.

In addition, the Chiefs have donated team t-shirts and hats for the cheerleaders to distribute to the men and women of our armed forces throughout the tour.

Use the draw of Tillman’s story to honor his memory and the sacrifices of so many others who choose to serve our country — football players or not.
