Having coached two NFC Championship football teams (the Philadelphia Eagles and the St. Louis Rams, the latter also winning the Super Bowl), Dick Vermeil knows a thing or two about winners. Having seen the ship many times in her current state but well aware of her history and her indomitable spirit, Vermeil donated his time to the Conservancy to star in a Public Service announcement highlighting the importance of saving this ship for future generations. The Conservancy hopes to initially air the spots in New York, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. You can watch the spot on YouTube.Media outlets around the country reported on Vermeil's support for the Conservancy, from the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, ABC 17 News, New Jersey Herald, and dozens of other outlets nationwide.For the Philadelphia Daily News's coverage of Coach Vermeil's new public service announcement, visit the link HERE.
