Game 48 – Warrior Wishes Come True At Superbowl LI!
For the 5th consecutive year, Operation Warrior Wishes has been honored and humbled to have hosted military heroes & their families at all 32 NFL stadiums in 1 season!
In fact, we hosted warriors at a total of 48 NFL games this season including 3 playoff games & the Pro Bowl!
It’s been an incredible season filled with unforgettable once in a lifetime memories! And we are not done yet! Super Bowl Week is always one of our favorite weeks of our mission. It’s by far the busiest & craziest week of the year for sure!
Instead of flying home after making wishes come true at the Pro Bowl in Orlando, he flew directly to Houston to kickoff the wild SuperBowl Week!
We coordinated making wishes come true for more than 30 warriors at 13 exclusive Super Bowl events throughout the week!
It all started on Wednesday January, 30th at the Wounded Warrior Amputee Football Team’s annual Flag Football game.

Before the game, John & Sean were treated to the ultimate Super Bowl Players Tailgate thanks to our friends at Bullseye! John was super excited to have had the opportunity to meet Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri at the tailgate. John hopes to one day become a celebrity chef and guy said “we will cook together one day!”
The crazy week all led up to Super Bowl LI. When the Atlanta Falcons faced off against the New England Patriots! Sean, being from Georgia, was rooting for the Falcons. John, being from the Northeast, was rooting for the Patriots.
Sean had a lot to cheer about in the first half and it seemed as if the Falcons were going to coast to an easy win. However, you can never count Tom Brady & the Patriots out. And John had the last laugh.

An unbelievable 2nd half resulted in an incredible comeback win by the Patriots and went down as one of the best Super Bowl games in history!
