Current Hero's Wishes
My name is Sarah. I have been in the Air Force since 2006. My most recent deployment had me away from my family for nearly four months. I just returned from a deployment to INDOPACOM at the end of April and would like to take my family to Disneyland; this year has been difficult for all of us, and it will be nice to relax together now that things are getting back to normal.

I would like to get tickets for my daughter and I to go to the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho, from 25 to 29 March 2026. We are big fans of live music and would love to get five-day passes to attend, especially if they are the zipline passes, so we can get into every event, no matter the crowd. I would like this wish granted because my daughter and I love to go to concerts together, but it is difficult to justify spending money on entertainment like this when we don't have much. Soon after returning home, we had flooding in the house causing extensive damage in three rooms and other areas such as closets and part of the garage. Insurance is covering a lot, but not everything. If that didn't take all of our extra funds, there has been multiple repairs needed on vehicles that have taken the rest. We are good at budgeting and tightening belts when needed, and we will recover from the financial strain, but expensive festival tickets are not in the budget right now.

My name is Rosemary, an Army veteran and the widow of Army SSG Jeremy A. Brown. Jeremy was killed in action on July 3, 2005, while deployed in Mosul, Iraq. At the time, he had just begun our third consecutive deployment to Iraq since we were married. Our married life was defined by service to our country. While Jeremy was completing his first deployment, I arrived to start mine — passing each other in Kuwait by a single day. When I returned home, he was deployed again. We celebrated our marriage with a big family wedding during his two-week R&R, but we never had the chance to take a honeymoon or share a family vacation together. I have remained unmarried for the past 20 years, and have a son who is 19. He is a wonderful young man and a devoted WWE fan. My wish is to share with him a special experience we will both cherish — attending WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Specifically, I am requesting two 2-day tickets so that we can enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event together. This would not only fulfill a dream for my son but also honor the life and sacrifices that have shaped our family’s journey.

Hello! My name is Nathan. I am an 11 year veteran on my way home from my second tour. I am writing this in hopes of you being able to help my family create new memories and make up for lost time in a trip to Disney World. Every service member knows that being a parent while deployed isn’t exactly easy. For me, hearing my two boys wonder where I am and ask when I am coming home is always so difficult, especially around their birthdays. I wasn’t able to make it home for the birth of my second child last deployment. This deployment I lost my grandfather this summer and wasn’t able to attend his funeral. This compounded a lot of stress on my family and I, but have made it thus far. My wife, Mary, is the rock in our marriage; a retired veteran after 22 years of dedicated service and a mother of two handsome boys, has worked tirelessly to get our kids to summer camp and to keep them happy and healthy while I’m deployed, as well as taking over my chores as well. For my Hero’s Wish, I am asking you to help me get our family 4 Park Hopper Passes to Walt Disney World. This isn’t just a wish for me, this wish is for my wife who held this family together and for my kids to have breakfast with their favorite Disney characters.

I would love to take my Fiancé and our three girls, ages 5, 9, and 12, to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My children have never been, and I remember going as a child and making lasting memories. I would love to take them to Disney and am asking for 5 tickets for two park days. My children love everything Disney, and I would love to make our forever memories.

My name is Chief Petty Officer Seth Jones, and I have proudly served in the U.S. Navy for 17 years. Serving this country is not just my duty, it’s my passion. I have defended freedom, protected the front lines, led multiple units in unfamiliar territories, and stepped in wherever needed. But this calling has come at a hefty cost. I am blessed with a wonderful wife who has carried the weight of being both mom and dad during my nine deployments in serving the Red, White, and Blue. She has been the rock for our three daughters Mersadies (19), Neveah (15), and Violet (12). They left the comfort of family in Utah to hold down the fort in Southern California. None of us could have imagined just how many nights they would spend without me. It wasn’t only deployments when I missed days at home, I was often away on training, courses, or temporary assignments, leaving my chair empty at the table. Since enlisting, I have missed more moments than I can count, moments I once swore I would never let slip away. Birthdays, holidays, first days of school, last days of school, sporting events, family dinners where my seat sat empty night after night. I’ve missed blowing out candles, hearing about new adventures and fears, cheering from the sidelines, consoling scraped knees, and tucking my girls in at night. Many of those moments slipped by while I was across the world in another time zone, others while I was tied up with training or orders that shifted at the last second. Even when I tried to make it home for something special, duty always seemed to have other plans. In those early years, between 2008 and 2012, I experienced their birthdays, first days of school, and holidays only through photos and grainy video calls sometimes with lag, dropped connections, or just a blurry screen. As technology improved, I could finally see the events in real time, but it only reminded me more painfully of what I was missing. Over time, the missed school performances and sporting events chipped away at the closeness of our family. For the last four years, we’ve been searching for something to bring us back together to reignite the fire and rebuild the bond stretched thin by distance and time apart. A family trip to Disney World would mean the world to us. The ultimate dream come true would be the five of us, my wife and I and our three daughters experiencing that magic. It would be a chance to create a memory together that doesn’t need to be retold later. Thank you for considering my wish and giving me the chance to hope that, maybe this time, I won’t have to miss out. A dad who just wants to be “in the room where it happens” with his family.

Hello, we are the Powell Family. I am Daniel, an E-7 Chief Boatswain Mate in the United States Coast Guard, currently serving my second tour overseas in Bahrain as part of Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. I am married to my loving wife, Daisy, and blessed with two amazing children, Delano and Desmin, who are 9 and 11 years old. While my work is challenging and rewarding, I believe my family shoulders the greatest burden: my children being without their father for a total of two and a half years during my deployments, and most importantly, my wife, who is currently in remission from lymphoma. Her courage, resilience, and strength in managing our household during my absence inspire me every day. Our wish is to create lasting family memories by visiting Disney World upon my return from deployment. We are respectfully requesting assistance in obtaining multi day park hopper plus tickets for my family. This experience would not only be a dream come true for our children but also serve as a much-needed morale boost for my wife and our entire family after these challenging few years.

Henry says:
I like to thank Vet Tix and the people who donated though the Hero's Wish program. Especially The NY Yankees For the great seats I had for Myself and my family. They treated me special. This program shows Veterans that people do care about us. It made me feel good I also met a great friend at the game who helped make this dream come true thanks Joe. It will be a long time before I can forget this day I got to see my favorite player Derek Jeter play and the NY Yankees won what more can you ask for thank you Vet Tix.

This was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. To be able to return home after a long ten months in Afghanistan and see the looks on their faces was amazing. We were able to share some much needed family time, as I am a single mom and they were in the care of my mother during my absence. I am at a loss for words to cover my gratitude to those who assisted in making this wish/dream come true. I truly do not know if we would have been able to have the same experience during this vacation if it were not for those donors who came to our aid/assistance. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just want to give a huge thank you to Shannon, David, Jennifer, Carissa, and Hero’s Wish for the incredible gift of Disneyland tickets! This truly means the world to me and my family. Your generosity gave us the chance to make memories that we’ll cherish forever from the laughter, the rides, and all the magic in between. I’m so grateful for the kindness and support shown to veterans like me. You’ve made a dream come true, and I can’t thank you enough for reminding us what true compassion looks like.

Thank you James, Mary, Lisa, Thomas, Greg and Jennifer, Mike, Jennifer and all of the anonymous donors. This is something we will remember for the rest of our lives and you all made that happen.

Saying “Thank You” doesn’t quite cover it. Words just aren’t enough to express the profound gratitude that my family has for you making this an amazing trip to celebrate our family being back together again. Thank you all for the birthday comments and posts today! On our first day of the trip, after our travel, my daughter and I both celebrated our birthday at Magic Kingdom and it was amazing. Sharing a birthday with my daughter will always be better than any celebration I could ask for. Last year the Army had me away and it was the first time since she was born that we were apart on this day. This year we made up for it. I can honestly say that I had a brief moment of emotion as I stood there with her on my shoulders watching the fireworks around the castle on our actual birthday, appreciating that we were back together for our day. THANK YOU!!
