Current Hero's Wishes
Hi, I'm Tobias. I'm finishing up my 3rd deployment in as many years. My wife and daughter have been a great strength for me as I continually go overseas on deployments. It is always nice to come home and be with them until the next time I have to go again. My daughter is turning 7 this summer and I would like to take her on a magical vacation to Disneyland for the first time in her life. We would need 4 Disneyland tickets with lightning lane passes if possible. Between the 3 deployments and 3 extended TDYs since she was born, I've been away over half her life. She is awesome and I would love to treat her to memories she will cherish for a lifetime. Any help you could possibly provide would be amazing!

Hi my name is Trevor. Creed has held a special place in my heart for a few years. However, while on my most recent deployment to the Middle East, my friends and I listened and continue to listen to them almost every day. Creed helped get us through it. I never thought I would get to have the opportunity to see them live, but they are coming to Lincoln NE on Aug 1st. I would love to be able to see them with my wife.

My name is Adam. I am a major in the Army and I have been serving for 12 years. I am currently deployed in support of Operation Spartan Shield in the Middle East. I have a wife and 4 kids at home. 2 daughters ages 8 and 6, and 2 sons ages 5 and 1. When I get back from this deployment, I will have been gone longer than I was around my youngest. My wife has been superwoman taking the kids to soccer, dance, basketball, t-ball and softball as well as the many school events. Every time a Disney commercial comes on the kids always ask when we are going to go, so I’d like to make that wish come true for them when I am back from deployment. My wish is for 3 day tickets plus park hopper for the 6 of us to let my family enjoy that Disney magic.

Hi! My name is Jeff and I am currently on 13 month mobilization orders deployed to the Middle East. Proudly serving in the US Navy Reserve, this is my fourth overseas deployment in 6 years. I’d really like to surprise my family with a long overdue vacation. My wife and I are parents to a disabled, special needs adult child that gets super excited about anything Disney. We have always wanted to be able to plan a trip to take him to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My wife is the real hero here as she has been home holding things down and taking care of our boy while I've been away. This particular deployment was made more challenging because of course, everything waits for me to leave to go wrong so she has faced home repairs and dealt with having to get the AC fixed in the heat of the Texas summer. Her car has been in for repairs as well. The sacrifices she makes every day in support of our family are not easy but she goes above and beyond to get it all done! I am so proud of her and wish so much to make her dream a realization and take our family on this vacation to make up for all the time I have missed through these deployments! I expect to return home by early May 2024 and would really appreciate any help in making this wish for four, 3-day park-hopper-plus tickets (with available disability services) come true! If it does, we would plan our trip between April and September 2025. Thank you for taking the time to read my wish!

Hello, we are the Harmon family. I'm Glenn, and I've been privileged to serve my country through three deployments. Now, I'm excited to start a new chapter and create unforgettable memories with my loved ones. During my last deployment, I missed several special milestones, including my triplets' 3rd birthday, my daughter's 11th birthday, my wife's birthday, and our 10th wedding anniversary. My wife has done an amazing job holding the house down, all while working full time and juggling many schedules. I'm looking forward to making up for lost time and taking my family on a magical adventure to Disneyland when I return home. Thank you for your support in getting our family of 6 to Disneyland with lightning lane passes!

My name is Adam and I am requesting a 3-Day VIP pass or a Boss Pass to Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, October 3 - 5. A large list of my favorite bands, some of which I listened to push me through my deployments, are getting back together and playing at this festival. I am requesting the upgraded passes to provide me with access to the less crowded areas, avoiding any anxiety or PTSD triggers

Hello, my name is David and I am writing this asking for your help to fulfill a family trip to help celebrate our retirement from the Military. I enlisted in the military in 2004 and over the past 20 years of service, 14 of those have been in special operations. My career has taken me on 16 combat deployments, resulting in many missed holidays, birthdays, and significant family events. My service has been the honor of my life, but now I am seeking support for a family trip to help mend those missed moments and reconnect with my loved ones. We are seeking a 5-day 3 park pass to Universal Studios Orlando. Now that my kids are tall enough to ride anything, we looking forward to enjoying every attraction the park has to offer. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Stephanie. I’m 29 years old and currently serving in the Army. Over the course of my career, I’ve had one overseas deployment that changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. During that deployment, my family endured unimaginable pain. We lost a loved one, and I received the devastating news that my daughter had been a victim of S/A at the hands of someone we trusted. Around the same time, my wife’s mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Being away from my family during such a difficult time was one of the hardest challenges I’ve faced. I couldn’t be there to support them when they needed me most, and that weighs heavy on my heart. All I want now is to give my little girl a moment of happiness, a chance to feel like a carefree child again. Taking her to the happiest place on earth is a small dream, but one I believe she deserves after everything she’s been through. While I know this won’t fix what has happened, I hope it can bring a smile to her face and create a precious memory for her to hold onto. If you’re able to support us in making this dream come true, my family and I would be forever grateful. Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to giving her this special experience. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for any support you can offer.

I am a Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force and returned April 2nd 2025 from a 6 month Deployment to Somalia. My wife and I have 4 kids, 3 of which are girls who participate in All Star Cheerleading, which means we are constantly on the go and rarely have time to get away as a couple. I have been a Broncos fan my whole life, and also attended Texas Tech University and follow the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. My wife loves the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes as well. We also live in Lubbock, TX where Texas Tech is located. Our anniversary is November 5th and neither of us have ever been to an NFL game or been able to truly celebrate our anniversary since getting married. I would love to be able to spend a weekend with my wife in Denver and attend the Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs game on November 16th 2025. My wife and I would be forever grateful for this opportunity to spend some alone time together while also enjoying something we both love, football.

Damien says:
A dream come true family vacation is the exact way I would describe our trip. Thank you Vet Tix and the Hero's Wish coordinators for all the work that goes into this amazing program and opportunity. As a service member who will hit 20 years of service this August I have nothing but gratitude for what the military has done for myself and the life my family and I are afforded. The time away from the family is truly the only hard part of serving and it was incredible to be gifted these lifelong memories. My kids, five and seven years old, had the time of their lives. Above all else, they were most excited to be at Disney World as a family. The memories will surely last a lifetime. My son and I have spent hours sword fighting (souvenirs he chose), my daughter and I made secret hand shakes while waiting for rides and my wife (who as a military spouse, the hardest job of all) was able to take off a few of her hats, unwind and relax while just being a mother. We enjoyed our time together so much and are forever grateful to have been given this experience. A special thank you to Madeline and Raymond, our angel donors, whose selflessly generous donations will never be forgotten. On behalf of my family, thank you!

We were floored to have received three four day park hoppers for Disney Parks in Orlando, FL. The gesture was much more than expected from our original request of one day at Disney. Michelle and Vet Tix made it possible to finally on our promise to take Connor to Disney Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. He said it best when he said "Its the greatest day of my life". I really appreciate everything that Vet Tix does for our troops and for donors like Michelle for paying forward such a fulfilling experience. Thank you so much for making my Families Summer!

I Wanted To Thank Everyone For Giving My Son This Wonderful Wish. We All Had A Great Time & Had A Lot Of Fun. My Boys Really Enjoyed Their Christmas. I Can’t Thank You All Enough For Making My Son Happy & Making Him Smile. They Enjoyed All The Lights & Decorations & Listening To The Christmas Music All Day. We All Enjoyed The Christmas Parade & It Was So Beautiful At Night. And Every Night They Make It Snow & That’s A Nice Touch For Christmas, Even Though It’s Just Bubbles. I Am Glad They Got To Experience This During The Holiday Season & Have Fun & Not Be Depressed During Christmas. We Will Never Forget This Great Christmas Thanks To All Of U Wonderful People. I Hope You All Had A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year.

First and foremost, wow I would like to thank everyone who made this experience possible. The game was amazing and definitely an experience I will never forget. I got to meet my all time favorite player to cap off the night. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who made those possible. God bless you all

I would like to personally thank all of the great people who have donated to my Hero's Wish. It is because of people like you and VET TIX that keeps us knowing that we are not forgotten. This event was the first one I have been to since being severely injured and losing my men on 22 April 2011. I had one of the best times of my life. I would like for the special people who have donated and VET TIX to know that you have a special place in my heart. My spirit has been lifted, I realized that life doesn't have to be stuck in the house isolated. All of you were apart of this and hopefully it touches your hearts as much as it touched mine. Thank you and may GOD bless you all.
