Wishes do come true! Wonderful to see a Tennessee veteran get his Wish of a Lifetime!

Are you a rock ‘n’ roll fan like Harold? Hearing rock music like The Rolling Stones transports Harold to his service in the U.S. Air Force when he left Memphis for the first time to serve and see the world.

And today, at age 71, still gives Harold that same electrifying energy… especially when it’s performed LIVE by the ROLLING STONES!

With Wish of a Lifetime’s help, Harold recently fulfilled his lifelong dream of seeing the iconic rock stars live in concert. He even got to meet original band members Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards.

“At my age, to see someone I grew up listening to and to know that person is still performing is uplifting. It inspires me to continue to do what I love until I can’t. Just like Mick,” Harold said.
