A group of 25 U.S. military veterans were left disappointed after a promise for free tickets to an NFL football game fell through Monday.
Tuesday."After an hour went by, they were like, it was a joke. Somebody pranked us. Everyone was just like, man, why would somebody do that to us? I'm not saying that we're special or anything like that, it's just like anybody in particular that does that to somebody is pretty rude."
The group had been told they would receive tickets to the game along with accommodation and transportation by an unknown donor working with the nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project. The charity was acting as a facilitator and the unlucky veterans do not hold the group responsible for the donor's failure to show up.
"We know it's not the Wounded Warrior Project's fault, they were just trying to help us out," Galvin toldThe group were promised tickets to one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year, but were left disappointed instead.The reason for the no-show remains unclear. Plans and discussions for the day began about a month earlier and ended only hours before the game, when the donor stopped communicating.
"We haven't been able to make contact with that individual," said Wounded Warrior Project's Doug Moore to KARE."We hope that they are well, that there wasn't any kind of medical situation or anything like that, but right now we don't have any further information there. If there was any kind of fabrication or falsehood, obviously we'd want to pursue that."
