Arlington, VA (PRWEB) September 17, 2012

Big screen beauty Brooklyn Decker and model/entertainment personality Christine Teigen recently set out on their first USO tour and spent this 9/11 honoring troops in the Middle East. On a mission to extend America’s thanks to troops serving overseas the duo spent time signing autographs, posing for photos and getting to know our country’s greatest heroes—the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Details:

•     Decker and Teigen visited hundreds of troops serving overseas in the Middle East.
•     Most recently, Decker appeared in Peter Berg’s summer hit “Battleship,” alongside Liam Neeson, Rihanna and Alexander Skarsgard. Her other big screen credits include “Just Go With It” with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston, and the 2012 release of “What to Expect When You are Expecting,” among other projects.
•     Earlier this year, the USO partnered with “Battleship” director Peter Berg to produce the USO’s “Real Heroes” PSA. To view the PSA visit http://bit.ly/OTs9Ca.
•     Decker’s first big break came in 2006 with her appearance in the popular Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She followed up her 2006 debut with photos in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 issues, which lead to her career breakthrough when she appeared on the cover of the 2010 issue.
•     Teigen has been featured in some of today’s most prestigious fashion and sports magazines from Italian Vogue, Esquire, and Glamour to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, among many others. In addition to her print career, Teigen also lends her fashion and entertainment expertise to the small screen, which includes reoccurring guest host and correspondent roles on E! Entertainment and “EXTRA.”
•     Last month, Nine West announced its third annual Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC) and named Teigen as one of eight models to be photographed by USO tour veteran and industry-respected photographer Nigel Barker as part of the fundraising campaign. Additionally, Teigen can be seen as part of the Skullcandy Headphones Supermodel and Gillette Venus & Olay spokes model campaigns as well as on the cover of the 2011 issue of Ocean Drive magazine.
