My name is SGT Bruce Messer. I am born and raised in Ohio and have always been a Buckeyes fan. I've never in my life been to a game in person. I've always dreamed of going to a game and of course the ultimate game would be against our biggest rival. I have friends I would love to take. I'm a disabled veteran of combat and can't work. I am married with 6 children. 4 of which are still in school and two that have graduated, one that is engaged to be married. I live off of disability and SSI, and my wife works full time to make sure we have extra cash after bills. We focus all of our funds to bills and our kids so buying tickets is out of the question for me.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thank you very much for the donations to make this possible. Though my wife was ill this day, I was able to take my father with me. It was a great day, game and memory that I will never forget.
