My name is specialist Christopher Brunelle I am a Iraq war Purple Heart Vet. I have let the PTSD get the best of me. I was injured in 2005 when a suicide bomber attacked my hummer and blew us up. My gunner was killed in the explosion. I was to proud to let anyone help me or take help from anyone. I tried to do it on my own. I just about let the PTSD get the best of me. It cost me my marriage but I'm ok with that part now. I was at a very dark place in life didn't want to be here anymore. One day I was thinking what to do and how to do it, when one of my little girls came out and said daddy just want to say I love you. I still deal with the nightmares and flashbacks but I'm use to that now. My wish is to attend the night race at Bristol Motor Speedway. I am asking for 3 hot passes and race tickets for that day because I don't drive that far anymore. For the longest time I have been unable to get out and go places, with the help of some good friends and brothers I am able to now.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I had a great time at the race although it was postponed and we could not stay and watch the ending of the race we had a great time. We met some great people. We met some of the drivers a few owners saw a great concert by Craig Morgan and a all around great time. Even got a laugh out of Richard Childress. He walked by I was standing there just got done drinking a Ole Mokey Mountain Moonshine drink and still had the jar in my hand. He was standing there signing things and looked at me so I handed him the jar he asked me are you serious I said yep! He laughed and signed it! It was a great time!
