I am fortunate not to have any visual signs of injuries, but I do suffer from PTSD and TBI. I have suffered 13 concussions, 11 of them from IED strikes. I would love to attend a Tampa Bay Rays Game. I am a huge fan and have always wanted to do that.

I wanted to say thank you so much, I had one of the best times ever. You didn't only make my wish come true, you also made a wish come true to my family and with that I want to say thank you.
