My name is SSgt. Edwin Wiley. I'm a fulltime AGR (active Guard and Reserve) Soldier with the Colorado Army National Guard. My wish is to see Famed astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson in my hometown of Denver in January, and I would love to see him in person! My girlfriend also serves full-time with the Colorado Army National Guard and is a Sergeant. We would love to attend this show together!You might know him from the show Cosmos, or the internet. As close as I can get to him the better, but just being there will be incredible!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thanks to Vettix and an awesome donor I was able to see Neil Degrasse Tyson in person, and was surprised with tickets to the meet and greet after the show as well. It was an absolute nerd-gasm and my girlfriend and I loved every minute of it. I was even able to have him sign his book for me. The host of the show Cosmos is a lot taller than he looks on the show, and even though its about science and space it was superbly funny as well. Thanks so much for making this wish come true, it was a spectacular evening.
