- description: Airman recently returned from the Middle East interrupted NFL game to propose to cheerleader An airman who recently returned from the Middle East proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend during tonight's match. Arizona Cardinals squad member Claire Thorton 23 was performing for fans at the home ground ahead of the Washington Redskins match. But the excitement of game day was stepped up a notch when her partner Air Force Captain Erick Straub marched onto the pitch in full airman attire and got down on one knee. Her fellow cheerleaders can be seen squealing and gawping as he produces a diamond ring. Thankfully, as the crowd roared with excitement, she said yes. The news will no doubt come as a disappointment to Claire's thousands of adoring fans, who have voted her 'cheerleader of the week' numerous times since she joined the squad last year. A first grade teacher by day, she studied education at the University of Arizona where she was also a member of the school's Pom Line. According to her cheerleader biography, Claire has been dancing since she was three years old. She also reveals that she and her fiance are avid travelers. They have been to 13 countries and three different continents. Eric is believed to have returned from a tour in the Middle East. The touching moment came during the first half of the Cardinals' match against the Washington Redskins at home.
