Although the Bears got ther asses whipped yesterday and Brian Urlacher may have been injured (bad bad news for them if true), one local fan was surely grateful and lucky to have been to the game regardless of the outcome as he got the treatment fit for a king thanks to local residents here after hearing about his unique situation and service to our country.

Metro & Tri-State :: Wish fulfilled: Burned soldier to see Bears: "Two weeks ago while patrolling Iraq's Al Anbar province, Lance Cpl. Jon Green's truck hit a roadside bomb.
The 22-year-old Marine from Palatine suffered second- and third-degree burns to his face. Four buddies in the truck were also wounded, some far more severely. They've all been recovering in a Texas hospital.
Just before Jon came back Friday to Palatine on a 30-day leave from the hospital, his parents, Rick and Kim, were asked by a state official what he needed.
'We didn't talk about a whole heck of a lot of things that he would like to do on his 30-day leave, but the one thing he did say was, 'I've never been to Soldier Field. I've never seen the Bears,' ' his father said. 'Everybody in Iraq has become instant Bear fans because they're 7-0. He said, 'I would love to see the Bears play.' '
Consider it a wish fulfilled."read more
