What an absolutely amazing experience. The Vortex crew pulled out all the stops, from the accommodations to the actual game experience. My wife and I had an amazing time. The hospitality of the Vortex staff was second to none, and I am truly grateful for such an amazing time.

I want to thank Vortex for recognizing me and selecting me to participate in the 2023 Armed Forces Bowl during their "Believe in Heroes" campaign. Vortex staff and leadership provided my wife and I a remarkable experience. This event humbled myself, my service to our to country was absolutely a privilege, the men and women I severed with would feel the same. To receive such recognition on this grand stage was tremendous, candidly I was a little overwhelmed by the recognition.
