Current Hero's Wishes
Hi, my name is Avag. My family and I have been separated for 9 months while I was deployed to Poland. As soon as I returned, we then had to PCS and leave all of our friends and familiarities. Both events have been extremely hard for my wife and children, 8 yo daughter and 3 yo son, as well as myself. We have been Chiefs fans since we were stationed in Kansas several years ago. We were only there briefly and were never able to get tickets. We are now stationed close enough to be able to drive to a game and would love to finally be able to attend one. I think this would be a great family event, as my daughter is a new football fan and my son loves any and all sports.

My name is John and I am an active duty Marine from Alabama. I will be returning from my 4th deployment mid-November and have the opportunity to return home to Alabama for Thanksgiving for the first time in many years! It would be a dream come true to get 5 tickets and be able to take my wife and 3 daughters to the Iron Bowl! We are huge Alabama fans and watching football together is one of our favorite things to do. My wife and daughters have never been to a game, and I would love to be able to give them that gift while reuniting after another deployment. Thank you so much for your consideration and… Roll Tide!

Hi! My name is Noemi, I am a nurse in the Army. I am currently on a 9-month deployment in the Middle East. When I return I would like to take my family to Disney World for Christmas. They have been very strong and supportive while I have been away, and I would like to give them a family trip of a lifetime. We have always wanted to go to Disney during the holiday season, and I would really like to spend some quality family time in the happiest place on earth. My family would enjoy this trip after being away from each other for 9-months. If you are able to help with park tickets it would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

My name is Michelle. Roughly one month ago, I returned home to the states from a nine month overseas deployment. The length of time being away became slightly more stressful for me and our family once my eldest son decided to join the military as well, leaving his daughter (my grand-daughter) to rely solely on her mother and extended family members (when possible) to care for her. My grand-daughter is three years old and although I hope in due time she'll understand her father and I commitments, I'd like to make a wish to be able to take her on a Disney World Trip in order to spend some quality time with her and reestablish our bond. Her and I are close but it seems slightly different now as she would inquire as to where I was for so long, especially when she would go to my house prior to her dad shipping off. I'd really appreciate being granted this grand wish either as a late birthday gift to her [early October she'll be 4 yrs. old] or an early Christmas gift since we were not together last holiday season, thank you!

My name is Bradley. I’ve served in the Army for 17 years now. I’ve been stationed in Germany and deployed on combat rotations twice. Just got back from a 10 month deployment to Poland in Oct of 24. I’m married to an amazing wife named Courtney and we have four children together. My family and I have been dreaming of the day to go to Disney World. Unfortunately we haven’t had the time or money so it’s been delayed again and again.

I am currently on my second deployment. I am currently in Europe and have been here for about 6 months now. I’ll be returning home soon in a few months and I would like to surprise my husband to a Steeler’s game. The Steeler’s are his favorite team and I would love to share a moment with him when I get home. We could really use some time to reconnect and do something special with each other after so much time apart.

My Name is Brandon. I am Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. I have been serving for a total of 12 years in the US Navy and I just returned from and 8 month deployment with the USS Carney. I have 3 children ages 6, 4, and 1 with my wife of 13 years. The only thing my children asked for when I returned was to go to Disney World for their first time. This was a really hard deployment for my family seeing my command on the news everyday for the amount of combat we were in, being that this was the first deployment where my oldest has really known what was going on and really struggled in school with it. I want to also give my wife a nice vacation as she has sacrificed so much over the years because of my service and taking care of all of the children by herself while I was gone with no support. I am super proud of my family for staying so strong and I would like to surprise them with this visit. I am requesting a total of 4-four day tickets to Walt Disney World with park hopper, a memory maker pass for the trip, and genie+ pass in (Orlando) Florida for 2 adults and 2 children.

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!
Ashot says:
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!
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!

This past week my family and I traveled down to Orlando and visited Walt Disney World. Our experience was once in a lifetime and truly magical. We were able to make so many memories and reconnect on so many levels. This trip will be talked about for years to come. Seeing the smiles and excitement in my family brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I can't thank the 8 donors and Vet Tix foundation enough for providing us with this trip. None of this would have been possible without you. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! When we think of this trip we will also remember you amazing people that made it possible. I wish the world had more people like you in it! Thank you, The Bear Family!!!
Lara says:
My 2 children and I want to say a big thank you to Vet Tix, and to all of the donors who helped make our wish come true. We had an amazing time at Disney World. My daughter Carson got to meet almost all of the princesses, and my son loved riding all of the rides. Without all of your help we would have never been able to go. It was such an amazing experience and I loved seeing the huge smiles on my kids faces. I can not possibly thank all of you enough.
