A 62-year-old Navy veteran received the surprise of a lifetime when he was gifted tickets to see his Kansas City Chiefs play in Super Bowl LVII.
Social media star Zachery Dereniowski walked up to the veteran named Warren, and asked about his plans for the big game – he had just purchased food for it.
Shortly after, Dereniowski surprised Warren with $1,000 in cash, but there was much more.

Moments later, Dereniowski gave Warren a package that included tickets and Warren couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Oh my God. Oh my God! I’m going to the game! I’m going to the game!” Warren shouted in disbelief.
The two shared a hug, and he revealed that he was shot in the head during his 21-plus years of service.
“If they called me tonight, I’d do it again,” Warren said.
