My name is Master Sergeant Ryan Reed. I married my high school sweetheart Meredith at 18 and joined the United States Air Force in 1998. We have two sons, Greyson and Ashston who are 10 and 12. I've been deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and the Defense of the Arabian Gulf for the last 7 months and will re-deploy next week back to Hill AFB in Utah. After our re-integration period, we are planning to drive home and spend Christmas in Phoenix for the first time in several years. The event I was hoping to attend is the Cardinals vs Seahawks game at University of Phoenix Stadium on the 21st of December. I've been going to Cardinals games since I was 8 years old when they first moved to Phoenix in 1988, but have only been fortunate enough to attend a handful of games since joining the Air Force in 1998. In England, I woke my two young boys at 3am and literally cried while watching the Cardinals beat the Eagles to finally go to the Superbowl. Both of my sons, now 10 and 12, continue to wear their jerseys to school in spite of a fair bit of teasing from the local kids...and in my 16-year career, I have yet to meet another Cards fan who I could watch a game with, or really understood what it means to have been a fan all these years (although that did work out in my favor in 2001, when the Cardinals Cheerleaders came to visit us in Kuwait) I would love nothing more than to have an opportunity to take my incredible family to a game, and experience that amazing feeling of camaraderie that comes from being surrounded by thousands of cheering Cardinals' fans! Thank you
