I have served this great nation for 16 years and take pride in serving alongside some amazing Americans. I have recently been selected to deploy to Afghanistan. I have served in Iraq three times, and Afghanistan once already. So this will be my fifth combat deployment. I am a Hospital Corpsman in the United States Navy, and I love what I do. I have the distinct privilege of taking care of the U.S Marines in combat and back home. I will continue to take care of those Marines till the day that I retire. My job comes easy for me since this is what I have been doing since I was 17 (Parent waiver). But it is hard on my family. I have been married to my wife for almost 13 years, and I have three beautiful children, 18, 11, 9. These deployments are always hard for us, but I have a wonderful support network of grandparents, brother, and in-laws. My wife and oldest child have been through every deployment, and my two youngest vaguely remember me being gone, because they just thought I was working. But now they are older, and understand where I am going, and what I do. I want to have a memory that both my family and I can enjoy, and give something to them to laugh and reminisce about while I am deployed. I was breed a Niners fan since birth by my grandfather, and my wife, who never used to watch football till she met me, is a die hard fan, and is always there with me watching them on television. I have raised all my children to be Niners fans, and there rooms are decorated with Forty-Niners memorabilia. So since it is football season, I thought the most fitting Heroes wish would be to watch them live. None of my family members, including myself, have ever been to a professional football game, and who better to watch than the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS!! I am humble to be considered for this opportunity, and I would like to thank VET TIX for offering this opportunity, and all of those make something like this possible. You are great Americans for supporting a foundation like this. I would be thankful for the opportunity to watch any 49ers game at Levi stadium.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I had a dream come true for my family and I. It was truly a blessing and I want to thank the Veteran Tickets Foundation, and the donors who appreciate what I do, and helped make this wonderful event happen. Words cannot express how grateful I am that you made this moment and memories for my family. The game was energetic and nothing like I have experienced before. This was a moment for my family and I to experience before my deployment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your help in supporting Veterans and making their wishes come true.
