If you saw the Super Bowl commercial Sunday night where Lt. Chuck Nadd got a surprise tickertape parade in his hometown after returning from a tour in Afghanistan, you might have thought his girlfriend, Shannon Cantwell, looked familiar.\u00a0 Cantwell, a 2011 Furman graduate, nominated Nadd for the honor and helped set up the arrangements so Anheuser-Busch could film the homecoming and create a Super Bowl commercial from it.<\/p>\n
Cantwell, who works in Washington, D.C., for U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, graduated summa cum laude<\/i> from Furman with a degree in economics and political science.\u00a0 She is originally from Fairhope, Ala.<\/p>\n
