Current Hero's Wishes
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!

Hello, my name is Christian. I’ve served in the Idaho Army National Guard for 14 years, both as a traditional M-day and now as an AGR. I met my wife, Jess, in the peak of Covid-19 while she worked in a Medical Lab processing Covid tests and other critical medical data, while I was on orders supporting Covid response efforts (such as working in food banks to distribute food to at-risk civilians). We’ve been working pretty much nonstop since then, culminating in the 10-month deployment to Kosovo that my unit just returned from. Now that I’m home again, I’ve been reassigned to a lower op-tempo unit, and I want to take the opportunity to thank Jess for everything she’s done, both during the pandemic and everything to support my career and military duties, by taking her to see her Philadelphia Eagles play the Denver Broncos (especially since we didn't get to cheer them on to their Super Bowl victory together due to the deployment). I am so grateful for everything Jess does, especially since my service has required me to miss every Valentine's Day and anniversary we’ve been together; I humbly ask for assistance in showing her how much I appreciate her. Thank you so much for your help and generosity to all those who serve.

Hello, my name is Alvin, and I’m currently on my sixth and final deployment in the Middle East. I am in the process of applying for retirement next year, which means I will have one more year of service before officially transitioning out of the military. This deployment has been particularly challenging because my daughter, who is turning nine soon, is now old enough to truly understand and remember my absence. My greatest wish is to surprise her with a family trip to Disney World for the four of us when I return home in a few months. I also care for my mother after the loss of my father nine years ago, and my wife has shown incredible strength and resilience throughout every deployment. She truly deserves a meaningful break, and my daughter deserves a magical experience to make up for the special moments we've missed together. This wish is not just for me, but for the incredible people who have stood by me through everything: my wife, my daughter, and my mom. I want to express my gratitude for their love, patience, and sacrifice throughout my years of service.

My name is Jesse. I’m on my first deployment and hit a rough patch. Hopefully, Mickey Mouse can bring back the magic. It’s hard being away from family during a combat deployment, but God has got it in his hands. I’m married and have a little boy who will be turning 3 in October. I’m not sure I will make it in time for my birthday, but I hope to make it for his! It would be great to get away, decompress, and reengage with the family. I hope to be able to take him and his wife to Disney World and make magical memories together.

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.

My name is Edward, and I am currently a Chief in the USCG. I am married to a fantastic lady who travels an hour to work daily as a high school teacher. I also have three children ages 15,14, and 11. My two older sons are actively involved in their school wrestling team. My daughter is my sweetheart and is just starting middle school! It’s such a difficult age, and I am thankful my wife is there to hold it all down while I am away to provide a strong female role model for her, but she is admittedly losing her mind with my teenage sons. I stay in contact with my family as much as I can via FaceTime calls and text messages, but I can’t wait to be back and see and hug them face to face. And provide a strong male influence back into teens' lives.

My Family has been moved without stability every 2-3 years (like many military families), and I'd love to show them appreciation for their sacrifice by offering an experience we'd otherwise never get to do.

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.

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.

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.

Hero's Wish Feedback
Maksym says:
I want to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to my Hero Wish for a post-deployment trip to Disney World. Your support made it possible for me and my family to experience something truly special after a long and challenging time away. This trip wasn’t just a vacation—it was a much-needed chance to reconnect with my loved ones and create joyful memories that will stay with us forever. Watching my children light up with wonder at the Disney parades and share laughter with them on the rides helped me feel a sense of peace I hadn’t realized I was missing. For a few days, we were able to escape the stress, the separation, and the weight of service life, and just be a family again. None of that would have been possible without your selfless gift. Your support goes far beyond dollars—it brings healing, unity, and joy to military families like mine. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping make this dream come true.

From the bottom of my heart, and my families, I want to thank all the donors who made this trip possible. I never got to experience Disneyland until I was almost an adult, so the "magic" of the "Magic Kingdom" was lost on me. But watching my young kids, wide eyed, meet the characters, ride the attractions and stare up into a brilliant fireworks display really allowed me to see the park through their eyes. Magic is absolutely the perfect term to describe what they were experiencing. These are memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you all so much for helping make this trip a reality! Semper Fi!

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!

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!

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
