Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller teamed up with USAA and the Veterans of Foreign Wars to send a military veteran and a guest on a trip to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Miller is sending Nicholas Lopez, a Corporal in the United States Marine Corp from 2005-2013 who served in Iraq, Japan and San Diego. Lopez is a Broncos fan from Grain Valley, Missouri and he plans to take his mother, Rena, to the Super Bowl.
“Thank you all for giving my son the opportunity to attend the Super Bowl!” Rena tweeted Tuesday. “More importantly, thank you for your support to those who served and currently serving our country. And last but not least thanks to Nick for choosing to take me. Soooo excited and thankful!”
Miller will meet with Lopez and other military members at USAA’s Salute to Service Lounge during Super Bowl weekend.
“Teaming up with USAA and the VFW to award a trip to the Super Bowl to a deserving military veteran is a special honor,” Miller said in a statement. “I can’t wait to meet Corporal Lopez during Super Bowl weekend and personally thank him for his service to our country and for being a Broncos fan.”
USAA is an insurance, banking, investments and retirement company for current and former U.S. Military members and their families.
