My names is Kaitlin Barnett. I am currently serving my fourth deployment. I want to take a family vacation with my daughter, husband and mother when I return this winter. My mother has spent a large portion of the past year taking care of my daughter as both her parents were deployed. I want to use this vacation for some much needed bonding time and as a transitional period post deployment. I would like to take my family on a Disney World Park Hopper vacation when I return from my deployment

My Name is Spc. Dennis Colon. I’m rated 100% disabled veteran. I deployed to Iraq in 2005-2007. I just relocated myself in TX. I live on a very fixed income and I’d like nothing more than to reward my stepson, who suffers from autism and take him to WWE Raw at American Airlines Center in Dallas TX. He has always wanted to sit next to the ring and he is a big fan of John Mosley. Life has been so extremely hard. I suffer PTSD, an anxiety disorder and some other conditions and I use a service dog and would require special seating if we were to be able to attend I would be extremely grateful for any help you can provide to us.

My name is Maj. Nicholas Collazo. I have almost 20 years in service, and multiple deployments and TDYs over the years, and this deployment has been the hardest as our children are now older. My wife is currently working on her Ph.D., homeschooling our youngest three, and moved our oldest to college across the country alone during my deployment. I would love to be able to take my wife and children on a trip to swim with the dolphins with a visit Sea World and Aquatica to spend time and reconnect (with their park bundle pass). This time together will give us chance to have fun and reconnect as a family, doing something we have always wanted to do. I am requesting 6 tickets in total for the dolphin swim park bundle, for myself, my wife, and our four children. Thank you for your support, and God Bless.

Currently deployed to the Middle East, and was involuntarily extended for up to an additional 6 months, totaling around 18 months away. I have three sons and a fiancee that I wish to take away on a magical Disney World Vacation. This has always been a dream of my family to do, and would be incredible if we could accomplish this, using the opportunity to re-connect after this deployment. We wouldn't require transportation, only park access and hotel (if any sort of meal vouchers are available, that would be amazing).

Hi! My name is TSgt Jessica Cherry. I have served 9 years in the Air Force. Six of those years spent on active duty and I am currently on year 3 in the ANG. I recently returned home from an eight month deployment overseas. I am fortunate enough to be a mom to two beautiful children (ages 4 and 6) and to my married to an amazing man, who stepped up while I was away. Of course, missing birthdays, first days of school, holidays, etc. were the most difficult to navigate while being away. At their young ages my kiddos didn't understand why I couldn't just come home. However, we made it and we're all happy that I am back home! I would love to surprise my family with four 4-day hopper passes to Disney World. It would be a dream come true to both of my kids. Honestly, there isn't a week that goes by that I'm not asked if we can go to Disney World "next weekend". They would be absolutely ecstatic to go! Therefore, I am requesting four 4-day hopper passes. However, I would be thankful for any level of support in making this dream come true for them! Thank you for your consideration and your support of my fellow service members whose dreams have been granted!

Hi Everyone I am 1SG Donald Spring. I have been in the Virginia Army National Guard for 19 years. Over those years, I have served in 5 active duty overseas deployments to include Afghanistan, Iraq (twice), Jordan and now currently serving in the Horn of Africa for a year. My wife is currently raising our two children, Michael (7) and Aurora (19 Months), and our 3 dogs at our home in Virginia. This deployment has been especially hard on my son as I have missed his birthday, holidays, and his baseball seasons. He loves the Magic of Disney and of course our daughter will as well because she is a Princess after all!I am hoping to take my family to Disney World in November to celebrate my homecoming, my sons 8th birthday and a belated 2nd birthday for my daughter! I would like to request 3 - 5 Day Salute Park Hopper Plus with Genie Tickets, Aurora is still too young to require a ticket.

My husbands name is 2nd LT Randall Knauss. He would love to take his family to Disney World. After going to school for 2 years to green to gold my husband went to a 10 month school. He was home 6 weeks before he deployed to Korea. Once returning from Korea, he was home 6 months before he deployed to Europe after the war in Ukraine started. We would love to spend time together as a family relaxing after so much time apart.

Hello! I’ve been active duty Air Force for the last 9 and a half years and am currently on my fourth deployment. I’d love to be able to take my family on a vacation to Disneyland with 3-day park hopper tickets for three when I return home. I returned home from deployment #3 in February of 2021 and was asked to take deployment number #4 in March of 2022, leaving in April a week after returning home from my honeymoon. My family has been nothing but supportive and strong throughout these back to back tours and I’d love nothing more than to take them on an amazing vacation to spoil them and spend time with them.

My name is Sgt John Real. I am active duty Air Force going on 10 years of service. I am hoping to take my wife and my son to Disney World when I return from my short tour. My son, Luka, just turned 2 in December 2021. When he was 10 months old, I deployed to Iraq. I came home for a short time, only to leave when he was 21 months for my short tour. I have never got to spend a Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthday with him. I would love to take him to Disney for his next birthday shortly after I return. My wife has done such a great job taking care of him and our home while I have been gone. Taking my family to Disney would be the perfect opportunity for our family to spend much needed time together. This would be both mine and my son’s first trip to Disney World and this would be the perfect chance for us to bond since I have been away from him for half of his life. We thank everyone who can help make this dream come true for us.

My name is John Barbare and I am 42 years old. I was medically retired from the US Army in 2014 after serving for 18 years where I had the best job in the Army – a Psychological Operations Team Chief. After joining the Army in 1997 at the age of 17, my unit traveled extensively, and I enjoyed every aspect of it. My first deployment was to Iraq during the invasion in 2004 and my unit spent over 1 year in Ramadi and Fallujah conducting combat operations on the front line. On my last deployment, in Afghanistan in 2011 I lived in a remote outpost doing Village Stability Operations in Regional Command -East conducting daily patrols for counter-terrorism operations. Six months in, I suffered a TBI and neck injury in an IED blast and spent time in the CASH until I was cleared. I wanted to be back out with my team (Purple Heart #1). Two months later, our outpost received ten 107mm rockets in the evening and I was one of several who didn’t make it to the bunker in time (Purple Heart #2). When I woke up moments later, several of us were in the CASH and then medevacked out the next day for further evaluation/treatment at the closest TBI Clinic for multiple injuries. Later, I was flown out of the country to Walter Reed where I spent 2 years recovering from my injuries which affected my legs, spine, eyes, ears, and brain. While I was recovering at Walter Reed, my unit went on the weeklong Yellow Ribbon vacation with their spouses to reconnect. After two years at Walter Reed, the Army, doctors, and my team of medical specialists decided it was in the best interest to medically retire me after 18 years. This didn’t sit well with me, as I planned to serve my entire life. I put up a fight and went to two medical review boards with a JAG, but eventually was told that I would never be able to serve again due to the seriousness of my injuries, and would need treatment for the rest of my life – which I still receive at the Veterans Affairs hospital. My wife has been a huge part of my support system throughout all the ups and downs of surgery, rehabilitation, recovery and moving forward after life in the military and being 100% disabled. We have two boys, 4 and 8 years old who bring me joy on a daily basis. We talk and dream about going to Walt Disney World every year, but never seem make it happen. Making this dream come true would allow our family to take a true R and R trip, and allow us to connect as a family and build memories that last a lifetime. It would be a dream come true especially for my kids, but also a healing, therapeutic retreat for my wife and I, since I was never able to take her on the Yellow Ribbon vacation due to my stay at Walter Reed. We would not require transportation to or from Disney World, only 4 park hopper passes for 5 days and a Disney Resort hotel with parking access, that has direct access to and from the theme parks for easy access. Thank you and God bless.

My name is Cpl Rick Colts, USMC 2007-2012. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and received a Purple Heart in 2011 while on deployment in Afghanistan from injuries sustained in a IED blast while on patrol as a MWD handler. (KIA Torry L404 - Guardian of the Night) I would love to be able to take my wife and 2 kids to Disney World, that is why I am asking for 4 - 4day park hopper plus tickets. My wife and I have been married for 13yrs and have a 9yr old son and adopted my 15yr old brother back in 2020 from foster care. We moved to FL from CO in 2021 and since getting here our kids are constantly asking when we are going to take them to Disney World, but even living so close the cost of tickets is astronomical. With the help and support from Vet Tix and their donors/sponsors we could finally take our family on a much needed fun vacation so we can bond and continue to grow as a family with the magical wonder that Walt Disney World has to offer.

My name is TSgt. Steven Wilson. I retired from the USAF in 2014 after serving for 17 years, I was deployed to Iraq, on my 4th deployment (2011) I was injured in an IED blast. I received a Purple Heart due to my TBI, I also suffer from hearing loss, back and knee pain, PTSD, migraines and memory issues. I had brain surgery in 2013 and had to cut my military career short due to ongoing symptoms from the blasts. My wife and children have supported me through all of my ups and downs since my injury, it would be nice to spend quality time with my family at the Happiest Place on Earth. I would love to take my large family to Disneyland, my children have not experienced the fun and magic of Disneyland, I would love to share that with them. I would like to request 12 three day park hopper passes so we could all go together. My children are 17, 16, 15 & 15 (twins), 14, 12, 8, 4 and nearly 3 & 3 (twins).

Hello and blessings to you all. My name is SFC Rodney Cunningham. I am currently serving in my third deployment (two in Iraq and currently this one in Syria) and coming up on my 18th year of service. This deployment has been a bit tougher than the last two for sure because it is the first one with my family. I have a beautiful wife whom we’ve been married for almost nine years this July and three crazy but awesome boys ages 8, 7, and 6 (which have been keeping my wife so busy while I’ve been away). I never really was ever able to give my wife the honeymoon she deserves when we first got married and this has been very challenging in so many ways for not only me but mostly her. I want to give her and our three boys a magical Disney vacation with a 4-day Hopper pass when I return home. They mean the world to me and deserve so much more. Making this happen would be a magical experience and would help bring our family closer together. Thank you for your support and God Bless you all!!!

My name is Sgt, Brian Martinez. I have twin 5-year-old daughters that have never been to Disney World. They will be six years old by the time I return and I will miss their birthday just like other birthdays I have missed. I would like to be able to take them to Disney World but my wife and I did not know if we will have the financial means to do so. I am currently deployed to Syria and it has been rough for them to understand, the cause we are fighting for and I know they do not yet understand the sacrifice our whole family has made.

My husband is active duty, a dedicated soldier defending this great country and an amazing dad and deploying soon and when he returns I would love for him to be able to take my girls to Disneyland. I would not be able to go since I have severe health issues. I would love for my husband and two daughters to go and have the time of their lives! Maybe stay at the Disney resort since we have never been.

I’m SPC Cardenas and I recently got back from a 7 month deployment in Bulgaria. My wife was 1 month pregnant with our first baby when I left for deployment. So I missed most of the pregnancy but luckily was able to redeploy early for the birth of our baby boy. He is currently 6 weeks old. I would like to take my little family to Disney World to show my wife that she is greatly appreciated for being strong during her pregnancy without me physically being there.

My name is David Tapia, a severely wounded veteran who served in the United States Army. I was awarded a purple heart during my tour in Iraq and later honorably discharged after 4 years. I have a very supportive wife who has stuck by my side despite my severe PTSD. After years of therapy and counseling I think I can finally manage it to be able to take my four amazing daughters, Nallely 13, Anahi 7, Ximena 3 and Natalia 1 on a unforgettable trip to Disney World with the help and support from VetTix and their sponsors / donors. I thank you in advance for your consideration!

I’m a 19 year Army Veteran on my second deployment to the Middle East. During my first deployment, I had many close calls with mortar attacks and IEDs which left me with social anxiety amongst other disabilities. I know because of my mental health issues, I’ve limited my Family from many enjoyable experiences. I’m hoping to thank my Family of 5 with a sweet vacation when I return this summer. One place we’ve always dreamed of going was a 3 day hopper at Disney World. It can’t make up for the many occasions I missed but the thought of being able to bond at the happiest place on earth would be a remarkable experience and hopefully open a new chapter as I near the end of my Military Career.

I am currently serving my 2nd tour overseas in the Middle East as a part of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. I am married to my loving wife and blessed with 3 beautiful little girls. As a Coast Guardsman, My wife and children understood the importance of my volunteering for a 2nd tour and the impact I can make for my service and country. Although the work is hard and rewarding, I feel my family has the hardest job, my children being without their father for another year, and most importantly my wife for her sacrifice and struggles of maintaining a household with me gone. Our wish is for my family to have a magical Disney World experience when I complete my deployment and return home. We have already arranged airfare and hotel accommodations, we are respectfully requesting help in attaining 4-day park hopper passes plus option for my family of 5. After a year in the gulf, this wish would truly be our way to not only come together as a family once again, but make wonderful memories in the process. Thank you for taking the time to read and God bless.
