Hi. We are a family of 4 stationed in southern Arizona. My husband is currently in his 3rd deployment and able to come home on R&R during the first few weeks of December. Our 6 year old son, Joshua, started playing his first year of football right after his dad had to go. He was disappointed when he learned dad wouldn’t be there for the whole season but also understands there will be more years to come since he now wants to play football when he grows up! We do our best to record the games and send them off so they both feel dad is more a part of it. Joshua has talked about wanting to attend a “real” football game ever since he started playing. His team is the Cardinals Red Flag and I am wondering if it’s possible to get tickets to the Cardinals game in Phoenix on December 12th to surprise both father and son with. We have never attended a professional sporting event before mainly because we have never been able to afford to do so. I thought it would be extremely memorable to experience a first as a family at a time when memories are so valuable to us. We would appreciate 4 tickets to the game so we can go as a family, but would feel just as blessed with only 2 so father and son can at least attend. Thank you for considering us and for any help in making this wish come true. The Yates Family

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Just wanted to write in a big heartfelt thank you to everyone that was involved in making this wish come true!! It was above and beyond what we were expecting! Thank you to the one who donated the tickets, to the Cardinals for the field passes, to Vet Tix for offering such a wonderful way to help make things like this come true, and to Eddie and anyone else who worked everything out for us. This wish was something we were not expecting to be fulfilled with the short time notice. But to our surprise, it was :) The seats were excellent, it was a perfect view of the field. The field passes for father and son were such a wonderful surprise...our son's eyes lit up walking onto the field!! The kids never let those bears go you gave them either Eddie...that was a surprise they loved. We had an absolute great time!! Thank you for all the time and effort that was put into making this happen for us. This is something we will never forget!!! The Yates Family
