My name is MSgt Mark Goenen. This is my 8th deployment during my career. I am currently serving as Fire Chief for a newly established "bare base" in Saudi Arabia. When we arrived on the ground there were less than 20 tents and no capability for Fire Emergency Services. Over our 180+ day deployment we will have built a base that will accommodate 2K personnel on a permanent basis. This deployment will see me miss 3 birthdays, wedding anniversary, and the winter holidays. I was chosen for this deployment on a very short notice, I had under one month to prepare to deploy and make sure the girls were taken care of during my absence. It would be a wonderful gift to take my girls to Universal Studios Orlando, (they are HUGE Harry Potter fans) as my girls have all been working very hard in school and life to overcome my absence for 6 months.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thank you to everyone who donated to our amazing experience at Universal Orlando. The generosity you showed us was on full display as we walked into the magical Harry Potter attraction areas and I saw the smiles light up on the faces of my girls. This trip was a culmination of my military service and a lifetime of their sacrifices and hardships and we are eternally grateful for this experience. Thank you. Mark, Cindy, Alyssa, Jamie, and Katie.

Hello, my name is SPC Trenton Davis, I am an MP currently deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The only downside to serving my country was leaving my beautiful wife behind. As she has been so supportive during this deployment, I'd love nothing more than to be able to take her on a Disney world vacation to Florida. Providing all goes well, I am set to return home October 2020. I am requesting 2, four day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I want to ensure she knows how much I appreciate the tremendous support and love I have received from her. I genuinely appreciate all the support and assistance from those donating to these causes. Your contributions mean more than you know to soldiers. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Maricella. I would love to be able to take my daughter to Disney World during her fall break in October 2021. I am an Army veteran. I deployed to Afghanistan twice OEF 2010-2011 where I earned 2 purple hearts and OEF 2012-2013. I was medically discharged from the military due to my injuries. My injuries include TBI, PTSD, anxiety, depression, hearing loss, memory loss/issues, and an injury to my neck that caused mobility issues. I am 100% non-workable, total disabled Veteran, so it's harder to save and takes longer. My daughter is 5 years old and it's her dream to go to Disney World. She deserves to go because she is the sweetest, most helpful girl. Even though I'm not with my daughter's father, I would love to include him in this once in a lifetime memory. I'm requesting three tickets to Disney World. I thank you for your consideration and thanks for all you do.

Hi everyone, my name is CTM1 Estrada I'm currently in the middle of an IA deployment in the middle-east and although this is my 4th deployment. it's the first time that I have deployed since I had my son (currently 3 years old). So, those of you that have experienced this can understand that this deployment has been by far the toughest one. I have been wanting to take my son to Disneyland for a while, but I wanted to wait until he was a little bigger so that he could actually enjoy the park. He will be almost 4 by the time I come back, so I think that it will be perfect timing to take him when I come back from deployment. I'm requesting 3, 4 day park hopper passes to Disneyland so that my son, wife and I can enjoy some quality time after being apart for more than 7 months.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thank you so much for making my wish come true! I personally love Disneyland, and ever since my son was born I was counting the days till I could take him to it, and because of his condition (autism) I wanted to wait a little longer to ensure that he would enjoy this wonderful experience. Yesterday was an amazing day for all of us and he was very happy to see Mickey and friends, but without a doubt the highlight of his day was when he saw Lightning McQueen. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

My name is SSgt Mangrum I have just returned home from a 7 month deployment from Bagram Afghanistan. My wife has held down our household and navigated the COVID pandemic by herself while caring for our two children ages 2 and 4. This deployment has been extremely tough but I am grateful we made it through. The last several months have been filled with challenges and changes. As soon as I returned home we PCS'd from Louisiana to Colorado. My wish is to take a family trip to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL as My wife and kids deserve this trip. I am requesting four 5-Day Park Hopper plus tickets to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I am hoping to take them on a much needed trip this fall to Disney World in Florida for some family time and a stress reliever. We've never taken a family vacation and this trip would mean the world to my family and I. Thank you for your consideration and God bless.

My name is SPC Andrew Boktor. I have been in the Army National Guard since high school and this September will make 9 years total. I was on a 15 month deployment because my return date continued to get delayed due to COVID 19. This was my first deployment and it was one of the hardest yet rewarding things to do in my life. I missed holidays, special occasions and the passing of my grandmother and uncle. It is a honor to serve our great country. However, I could not have done that without my amazing support system back home. My wife, mother, father, brother & sister-in law, all made me stronger during the deployment. My wife's family took me on my first Disney trip 9 years ago and we all enjoyed the extraordinary time together. My father in law has recently been diagnosed with a debilitating disease called Inclusion Body Myositis. His time of being ambulatory may come to an end sooner than we all would like. I just want to be able to give back to my family as much as they have given to me. This is the first time I have been away from my wife (we went to middle school, high school, and college together) and it took a stressful toll on both of us. She is my rock. I just want to show my appreciation for my family by taking them on a trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL. I am asking for 4 day tickets for 6 members of my family. Their strength and prayers helped bring me home safe. With all the negativity going on during a pandemic and deployment, my family deserves some magic and joy. We are truly humbled and thankful to be considered for this wish fulfillment. Thank you VETTIX for all you do!

My name is TSgt Huberr Hansen. I have just returned home from a deployment to Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. My girlfriend wants nothing more than tickets to Wicked, the musical at the Overture center in Madison, WI. I would love nothing more than to surprise her with front row tickets for Christmas. The prices are far more than I can afford. She has said for the last several years that if Wicked ever comes back to Madison that she wants to go. She is a wonderful woman, with twin five year olds that I am helping to raise as my own. While I was deployed she kept it together, mowing the grass, shoveling snow, looking after my house and my dog. She deserves something truly special.

Hi my name is Misael, I am a disabled army veteran. I enlisted in 2010 in the US ARMY as a medic and was attached to a infantry regiment 2-4INF 10th mountain bravo company where I deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 and was seriously wounded by a suicide bomber. I am blind in my right eye and have several herniated disk in my neck. I spent about a year at Walter Reed recovering from my wound and was later discharged on a medical retirement. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, unfortunately, I am on a fixed budget which makes it difficult to afford such trips especially with a family. I would love my kids to experience the thrill of roller coasters and see the sights that Universal has to offer.

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family and I had so many laughs and screams. I never thought I would have so much fun. It means the world to me especially because we came on the anniversary date of my injury in Afghanistan, great way to replace that bad memory with a good one. To everyone who donated thank you, my service to this great country would be meaningless if it wasn't for kind wonderful fellow Americans like yourself! I can not write enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you once again for making a dream come true for me and my family.

Hello My name is Petty Officer Brandon Moore. I am currently serving Active Duty with the United States Coast Guard and have been for the last 11 Years. My Wife and I have 4 beautiful Children together. I have been deployed 12 months out of the last 24 months. It is hard explaining to my little ones that I am going to be gone for a while. I have missed countless Holidays, Birthdays, and most of all my kids growing up. My wish is to take my wife and 3 kids to Disney World in hopes that I can recreate some missed memories! Thanks in advance!
