Hello my name is Specialist Yolanda Eddings and I am currently serving my second deployment in Afghanistan from 2011 with a return date to come home sometime in October 2012. My first deployment was in Iraq from 2009-2010. This has been a long, rough deployment for my husband and three sons ages 13, 12 and 4. When we found out I was going to deploy eight months after getting to our second duty station, we had to make the decision of either staying at our home base or my family moving in with my parents in Colorado to help them around the house. My mom and dad were gracious to open their home to an additional four people. They are getting older and could use the help. I was able to surprise my family excluding my husband on R & R because he had to pick me up from the airport, but one thing I wish I could surprise my boys is, of course with me coming home, but also tickets to see their two favorite football teams; the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers as well as my dream to attend my first professional football game and meet a player. We all five would hopefully like to go before we PCS in February 2013 out of the states. They play on November 25, 2012 in San Diego, CA. Thank you for your heartfelt consideration and God Bless.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thank you so much Vet Tix for the awesome experience to see the Ravens vs. Chargers! Thank you also to the San Diego Chargers. My family and I had a great time at the game. I couldn't ask for anything more. The weather was spectacular throughout the whole game, the seats were amazing and it gave us an opportunity to bond even more from me coming back from my 12 month deployment. You guys do an amazing job! Keep up the good work. Yolanda
