LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. (STMW) – Once again, Brad Buell of Libertyville will watch a monumentally important Bears game on television while his season tickets will be used by decorated military veterans.

That’s just the way he wants it to be. Four decorated veterans are being given Buell’s tickets to the NFC Championship game between the Bears and the Packers Sunday afternoon at Solider Field, through a program run by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office.

Good guy!

I do the same with some of my company’s season tickets to STAPLES CENTER.

There’s an ARMY recruiting station not too far from my office, and they’re always happy to get whatever I have...

God bless them for what they do.

Some heroes just stay at home and watch TV. I’m not saying he is in the same category as the guys using his tickets, but he has sacrificed more than most of us have.
