Kyle Moser will be the special guest of Jim McMahon and Hope for the Warriors.

Since losing both his legs and part of his hand to an explosion in Afghanistan in November, Oswego’s Kyle Moser has spent virtually all of his time inside hospitals.

The trip is being coordinated by Hope for the Warriors, a group that works “to enhance quality of life for U.S. service members and their families nationwide who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty.” Moser came to be the guest of McMahon when the two met via Skype at a birthday party for Moser in…

Her and her husband, who grew up in Des Moines, have been a Packers fan their whole lives and are raising their two children the same way. She's not shy about her love for her team either. She'll wear Packers gear in public and has suffered countless comments from total strangers. "We've been in Home Depot and people will walk up to us say 'Hey, why don't you move to Wisconsin if you love the Packers so much,'" Loeffelholz said. Oswego Patch caught up with Loeffelholz Thursday as she was preparing for Sunday's NFC Championship game to find out what it's like to be a Packers fan in Bears country.
