Current Hero's Wishes
Attending the 'Primetime with the Steelers' event in October with my son would be an unforgettable experience. Because I work second shift, we do not get to spend as much time together as I would like. He is entering his senior year of football and plays both offensive and defensive line, so this would be a meaningful way to celebrate our shared love of the game. I have been a lifelong Steelers fan and have always admired their hard-nosed defense. My son and I especially enjoy watching T.J. Watt. After serving as a combat engineer in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, this opportunity would give us valuable time together and a memory we could carry for years. I'd love to give him an amazing day!

Hello my name is Donavan. I went on deployment in Iraq and Kuwait. I have been away from my family for about 9 months. I just want to spend the time with my family for loss of time if possible. I am married to my wife Sierra. We got married while I was on deployment. We have 2 children, Penelope and Rowan. I am 27 years old and turn 28 on the 15th of October. My wife is also turning 28 on the 1st of October and would love if we could get our wish fulfilled. I'm apart of the 101st CAB. It was my first deployment in Iraq and Kuwait. I am located at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

My Hero's Wish is to attend the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers game at AT&T Stadium with my family. I recently returned home after spending nine months deployed overseas. During part of that deployment, I was forward deployed to a bare-base location where we endured repeated ballistic-missile attacks and defensive intercepts. After months of long hours, alarms, uncertainty, and being separated from home, returning to normal life has taken time. My family has supported me through 18 years of deployments, missed milestones, and unpredictable schedules. This wish is as much for them as it is for me: a chance to spend the day together at one of football's greatest rivalries and create a positive memory after a difficult deployment.

Lifelong wish to attend a home Steelers game with my family. We have never been to a Steelers game. If I can get this wish granted it would be a miracle. I would take my 2 sons and my dad with me to the game cause his health is failing. I have never asked for anything like this. I appreciate the chance to fulfill a dream come true so I thank you in advance.

Military life means missing birthdays, ordinary weeknights, and the everyday moments that keep a family grounded. Through the long hours, thinking about my family is what carries me. We are a massive Ravens household, and following our team has always been a vital connection to home and normalcy for me. I made a promise to my family that we would celebrate our time together and make up for lost time by going to a Ravens game. It would mean the world to walk through the gates of M&T Bank Stadium together as a family and cheer on our team in person!

Hero's Wish Feedback
Luis says:
On behalf of my family, we wish to express our heartfelt THANK YOU to all those who helped make our Hero's Wish a reality. The experience we had attending Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was remarkable and will be something my kids will remember for a long time. Even though we're big Harry Potter fans, attending this play on Broadway would not have happened without the generosity of all the donors and VetTix. While in NYC, we also took time to visit the 9/11 Memorial and the Intrepid Museum which helped my kids better understand the many ways in which we can serve our communities. Special thanks to: Patrick, Margaret, Ann Marie, Montie, Kenneth, Menahem and Tania in Honor of John A. ("LJ") Chambers II, Chasitty, James, Wilson, Margaret in Honor of Robert Tollefson, and all those donors who chose to remain anonymous. You generosity is much appreciated...thank you!

Sending a huge "Thank You" and great deal of gratitude to Henry, Donald, Travis, Yolando and other HERO's for their donations in making our HERO's Wish come true. My family and I are extremely humbled and joyful for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy Walt Disney World! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and commend the Veteran Tickets organization and their donors for what they do!

Thank you so much to Stage 3 Motorsports, Vet Tix and the other donors who made this possible. Seeing Michael Jackson ONE was awesome! Our kids LOVED the music, the acrobats, and the dancing. Seeing their faces light up with smiles and happiness the whole show was rewarding in itself! They even had a hologram of Michael towards the end, and it was a bittersweet realization that he really is gone and this was the closest thing we'd get to see him in concert. We're beyond blessed to have such amazing supporters of military like you guys. I'm forever grateful that I got to take my family somewhere as a thank you for their hard work and support during my deployment. Thank you guys so much!

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!

Thank you so much to Vet Tix and the generous donors for the tickets to Disney World! We had such a great time and made a lot of great memories as a family. This was our first time getting to go on any kind of trip with my boys, Olivia's stepsons, so it was all 5 of us and was awesome watching all 3 kids have a magical time together! None of us but Olivia had ever been to FL and probably never would have been able to if it hadn't been for this! Thanks so much again!
