Current Hero's Wishes
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!

I am returning from my 4th deployment and would like to take my wife and 3 kids to Disney World, this will be the first time for my kids, ages 9,6,4. I have already missed 2 years of my two oldest sons' lives and never seem to have the time to make up for lost time. This would be the first Disney trip for all of them, and I would love for them to experience the joy I had going as a kid. This would also be for my Wife, we honeymooned at Disney 15 years ago. She has been a rock for me and my boys throughout my military career. We would need 5 tickets for the family, my wife, 3 children, and myself.

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 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 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 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.

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.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Vet Tix and their donors for gifting my family and I five days at Disneyland. Because of your generosity, I was able to reconnect with my family after an 8 month deployment at the "happiest place on earth." To see the smiles and enjoyment on my children's faces as we spent time together riding rides and experiencing the magic of Disney will never be forgotten. Thank you!


Paul says:
Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to take my children to a Wiggles concert. It's something that they've always wanted to do. I was thrilled to have the chance to do this with them, because before I was injured I spent a lot of time away from home in the Army and now I spend a lot of time at school and at doctor's appointments. This was something they will never forget, they even got to meet some of the performers after the show. We had so much fun! You guys are the best! Thanks again for giving me and my kids a fun and memorable experience; it means the world to us!


Kimberley says:
To our generous donors - Henry, Marcie, Ulric in honor of Larry Conception, Brian, and Raul: Thank you so much for sending us to the Rose Bowl - the Granddaddy of Them All!! This was an incredible experience to cheer on our team the Utah Utes. My husband and I have been Utah football fans since we attended "the U" as undergrads. We spent many date nights attending home games. Utah Football remains a big part of our lives with our kids as we catch games on TV and attend the occasional game, though being stationed away from home makes that difficult. The Rose Bowl was likely one of the last games we will be able to go to due to our next set of orders and we are so grateful to be able to have those memories with our kids while they are still young. They had a blast, even in the rain! The parking was seamless and somehow there was no traffic in LA. The VIP tailgate passes gave us an opportunity to kick back, enjoy some good food and drinks while playing games with the kids and chatting it up with fellow fans. The seats at the game took our breath away - we had a perfect view of the field from around the 40 yard line, and of course in Utah territory where it was just like home. Having recently returned from deployment, family events become so much more important and meaningful. Reintegration can be challenging and experiences like these really bring our family together. Thank you again for your incredible donation for this once in a lifetime opportunity! We are forever grateful!!!

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!


KELLY says:
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!
