An Air Force captain completed a successful mission in front of thousands of cheering NFL fans on Sunday when he got down on one knee during a break in the game and proposed to his girlfriend, a cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals.聽 Air Force captain Eric Straub, 26, dressed in his flight suit, received a resounding "Yes! from cheerleader Claire Thornton, 24, as the crowd roared its approval during the break between the first and second quarter of the Cardinals' game against the Washington Redskins. The proposal was shown on the giant video screen in the stadium.聽 Christian Petersen / Getty Images Air Force captain Eric Straub popped the question to girlfriend Claire Thornton, a cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals, after the first quarter of the Cardinals' game against Redskins on Sunday. "It was pretty amazing, Thornton told TODAY.com. "I was shaking really bad. He's like 'Put the ring on!' And I'm like, you put it on me!' The best part about everything is that my whole family was there and his whole family was there, and I was doing what I love with the people that I love. It was the epitome of the best day ever.
Rick Scuteri / AP Thornton gleefully accepted Straub's proposal as the Cardinals' home crowd roared. Straub, an F-15 pilot in the Air Force, had just returned from a deployment in the Middle East the previous night. Thornton was expecting him to propose at some point during his time at home, but had no idea he was going to do it at the game.

"Claire had no idea what was going on, Straub told TODAY.com. "I just wanted it to be special for her, and I wanted her to be surprised. I saw they had 'Claire, will you marry me up on the screen?' and I had missed my cue, so I got over there quickly.聽

-The campaign, which began in June, has raised almost $60,000 so far, according to Lou Carrier, who, along with Liz King, heads a 16-person committee working on the project. Corriveau graduated from Winthrop High School in 1951 and Carrier and King in 1952.
- We ve always helped (Corriveau) out if there is any way we could help him, King said. And when Corriveau makes his annual pilgrimage to Winthrop, Maine, she said, I m always fixing a pot roast for him. He s nuts over my pot roast.

- We re going to ask for $20 contributions for someone to write an essay (about) why they would like to have two gravesites at Glenside Cemetery in Winthrop perfect for a husband and wife. We re calling it the RIP program, Carrier said last week. If they don t want the two gravesites, there s a shore lot on Annabessacook Lake they can choose.

- It was a canvas chapel, but we used tin roofing on the top and sides to close it up because the canvas didn t last too long, said Corriveau, who is staying briefly at the Oblate Missions House in Lowell, Mass., while receiving medical treatment for back problems stemming from years of riding horses, mules and motorcycles to get to his parish 鈥?and possibly, he speculates, from the year he played football for the University of Maine.

-He is a priest with the Missionary Oblates of Immaculate Mary and was first assigned to Haiti on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola 50 years ago.
-Corriveau, who will be 82 in two weeks, is anxious to get back to Haiti, where he has been assigned the job of raising funds to rebuild the church. Currently he is based in Port-au-Prince and serves as chaplain to the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi.
- Since I had my hip operation five years ago, I went back and was able to build a small rectory, Corriveau said. I m getting up there in age, and my hip doesn t permit me to climb mountains any more. They put a younger priest there in my place and also put a seminarian there to get used to missionary work. I m still attached to the parish because the young priest doesn t have all the help that he needs.
-The others also lack a base of support like he has in Winthrop.
- The parish has been very generous and the men s club very generous, and that s how we ve been keeping the (Haitian) parish open, Corriveau said. Even right now it s very hard for a priest to live there unless he has help.
-He said the parishioners there are farmers and engaged in commerce, selling things along the side of the road. They don t have much money to share, he said.
-The earthquake killed 222,570 people, injured 300,572, and displaced 2.3 million people, according to a January 2014 Haiti earthquake: Four-year progress report by the Red Cross Red Crescent. The number of people who died in the quake has been the topic of some dispute over the years.
- The church is right on the earthquake fault, so there were quite a few houses broken down, Corriveau said. The church crumbled.
-Since 2010, he said various organizations, including the Swiss Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity led by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and the local Little Brothers of St. Therese Lisieux, the Little Flower, have rebuilt houses in the area.
-Figures provided by the United Nations and cited in the Red Cross Red Crescent report say, (A)n estimated 89 percent of the 1.5 million people originally displaced by the earthquake have now left the camps and over 40,000 of these families were supported by the Red Cross Red Crescent.
-St. Anthony of Padua Church did not receive any relief funds to rebuild.
- The church has been there now since 1912, but it s been wrecked seven or eight times by a hurricane, and the last time it was the earthquake that took it down, Corriveau said.
-He said that some 7,000 to 8,000 people are in the area of the parish, but only about 2,000 to 3,000 are Catholics.
-Carrier said a new church will be costly because building regulations in Haiti are such that whatever you put up now has to withstand an earthquake.
-Carrier said contributions can be made by check to Father Joe at St. Michael and mailed to Father Joe at St. Michael, P.O. Box 333, Winthrop ME 04364 or dropped in collection baskets at any of the St. Michael Parish churches: St. Augustine and St. Mary, Augusta; St. Denis, Whitefield; St. Francis Xavier, Winthrop; St. Joseph, Gardiner, and Sacred Heart, Hallowell.
-The Rev. Frank Morin, the St. Michael Parish administrator, issues thank you letters and receipts if contributions are $250 or more, Carrier said.
-As for Corriveau s nickname, Carrier said, His father was named Joseph. I imagine they called him Little Joe when he was a kid.
-Betty Adams 鈥?621-5631
