Making a Difference

“Thank You for the AMAZING Opportunity to attend the Steelers game, IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE! I Never thought in a million years I would get to stand on the sidelines at Heinz field. You will never fully understand what a positive effect you are having on the warfighter community, it runs so much deeper than having fun at the game.” ~Army SGT Mike Rice~

“You are the perfect example of the reason that we put our lives on the line, the reason we fight, and the reason that justify our and our families’ sacrifice of being away from home. here is a phrase that best describes the fundamental reason of being a soldier… Soldiers do not fight because they hate what they have in front of them, but because what they left behind.

I want to deeply say thank you. Since I was hosted by Warrior Wishes & the Posse at the Ravens game doors have opened up for me. I have been dealing with my PTSD & depression when I got the call from Craig & Matt, it was an answer to a cry for help without knowing it. I am now paying it forward and attending charity events as an honorary member of the Posse. “Nevermore” was born. I now have purpose again, and am able to help others, in doing so its healing me. Matt & Craig, I am truly thankful, honored, humbled, and blessed to know you both. You guys have given to me & others more than you will ever realize. Again I thank you both, Salute! ~Ret. Army SGT Michael Cymek~

What a great year you had! I get emotional with every story you bring us. I am so proud to be an American! ~Marty Burnett (Warrior Wishes Supporter)
