Past Hero's Wishes
Hi my name is MSgt Jennifer Smith. I am married to my wonderful husband, Jerry and we have four beautiful children. My children are Skylah (12), Jerry (8), Bella (4) and Christian (18 mos). I am currently serving my 4th deployment and will miss 3 of my children's birthdays, as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas, my anniversary, Easter and possibly Mother's Day. I would love to treat my children to a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. I dream of them everyday and a gift of 6 park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World will put so many smiles on their faces, that it will almost fill the void in my heart from missing them so much. My husband and I have wanted to take our children for a while now and can never make it a reality. My husband is also military, so we have done our fair share of separations. It has been very difficult on our children and I thank God every day that I have them in my life. I would really love to spoil them for a couple of days at the greatest place on earth.

Hi, my family and I received the generous donation of 5 Disneyworld tickets for our family vacation. Unfortunately, my husband and I are both active duty and due to mission requirements, we were unable to enjoy the trip this summer. We have rescheduled for March (the kids spring break). We are hoping that everything works out and we are able to take all 4 of our kids to the greatest place on earth. I will be sure to post pictures once I have them. Again, thank you so much. This will mean the world to them.

My name is Chief Petty Officer Kerri K. Ayo. My wish is for my family of five to enjoy a day at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. My husband who is an active duty Marine going through a medical retirement and three kids Megan (11), Ethan (11), Jazmin (2) and I recently moved from Pensacola Fl to Norfolk, VA where I deployed with the USS Harry S Truman. Upon return and working with the ship schedule, we are able to go and enjoy Hershey Park in July.

Our family vacation to Hershey Park was awesome! The park is huge with lots to do for kids of all ages. Between the rides, the Hershey store, and making our own personalized chocolate bars, it was easily one of the best experiences we've had as a family. We plan on going back again and appreciate the opportunity to have gone. Thank you Vet Tix! Sincerely, Kerri Ayo

Hi, my name is SSG Brian Valley. I will be home from my third deployment in less than three years at the end of May. I have missed my son’s 2nd and 3rd birthdays and would love to take him and my wife to Marvel Universe LIVE! as a late birthday present. It will have some of my sons favorite Marvel Super Heroes including Spider- Man, Iron Man, Hulk and threatening villains who come to life in an action-packed arena extravaganza that is going to be a once in a lifetime dream come true for my 3 year old son Jackson. The tickets would be $136 a piece for a total of $408 for all three of us. This would be greatly appreciated by me and my wife Amanda but most of all it would make Jackson's late birthday present one he will always remember!!! Thanks To Everyone!!!

My name is SFC Antonio Corona. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan, and am burned out with deployments. This is my second tour here since I last left here in 2011 along with previous tours in Iraq. I try to put on a smile in every deployment. My pain goes out to my loving wife Sabrina, whom I left home alone with my four boys. My boys ages Antonio III(10) Jason(8) Jake(2) and Jayden(1). Yes I left my wife with 2 toddlers, my last deplyment in 2010-11 she was pregnant with Jake, only for me to return home and then we had Jayden. So I been pretty busy, I cannot recall the last time we had an actual full family event. I should return home sometime early in 2014. I would love (6) tickets to Disney World in Orlando for all of us, but if (4)is sufficient, I could pay the rest out of pocket. Thank you for the support and God bless.

After a long time of planning, my family and I finally visited Walt Disney World. I just recently returned from Afghanistan in March 2014, a few months later a kind donor donated the Corona family Walt Disney World tickets and also visited the in-laws in Orlando. Overall it was a great get away and a vacation my boys will never forget.

Thank you Vet Tix and all the donors who made our wish possible. We truly had the best vacation ever. The trip was a great opportunity to bond as a family again and create amazing memories the kids will cherish forever. The little ones were so happy to meet Elsa and Anna from Frozen and the older girls were happy going on all the rides. The trip has brought us all a little closer and made returning home easier for us. Again, thank you Vet Tix and all the donors for what you have done for our family.

My name is SGT Yascavage, Joshua. I am currently deployed in Kuwait. I have tried to make the best out of every day. It has been a very trying last few months due to my wife Brooke, having heart issues and constantly in the hospital. We have two kids a girl Stella (4) and boy Josh Jr. (1). I missed Christmas, Thanksgiving and will be missing both their birthdays this month. My pain goes out to my loving wife, whom I left home alone with the kids away from her family, and having a hard time trying to juggle the kids and her medical appointments. I should return home sometime in May 2014. I would love (4) park hopper tickets to Disney World in Orlando for all of us. We have been trying to plan this for a while but can only afford the hotel and never the tickets. Thank you for the support and God bless.

My name is Joshua Hall and I am currently serving in the United States Air Force on my third deployment to Afghanistan within the past two years. I will be returning to my duty station in Northwest Florida in a couple weeks and my family will be coming down to welcome me home. My father is retired military having served 20 years in the AF and my brother is also currently serving. I have been playing baseball since I was three years old so my family has grown up around the "diamond", I also played 3 1/2 years of college baseball. Now I play competitive slow pitch, once I return from deployment anyway. I believe I use it as my escape from life stressors and also it helps me return from combat zone to being back home. Again, I would like to thank you for even having the chance to tell you a little about myself. We are originally from the State of Missouri and are all huge St. Louis Cardinals fans. I would love to be able to take them to a game against the Tampa Bay Rays while they are in town. We would require 5 tickets to accommodate everyone in my immediate family but I am beyond grateful for anything I may receive.

Thanks you so much to the Vet Tix organization and their donors. My family and I had an amazing and truly awesome experience at the ball field, even though my Cardinals lost! But hey you can't win them all. It always helps the transition back to everyday life when you get to experience the hobbies you enjoy with the people that you love. I am beyond grateful for the tickets and the memories you created. Thanks again.

My name is James Bolling. I have been a huge country music fan since I was little kid. George Strait has always been someone I could listen to his music and relate to him. While Deployed if I play his music it seems to lift the stress off my me. His music calms me and helps me relax after a long day. Listenng to it helps me able to sleep in deployed locations. I am currently deployed until Feb and George put out his final concert series. And having a final concert June 7th at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium in Texas. I have never been able to attend one of his shows due to conflicts with the military or family and this may be the last chance.
