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 Clay. I am currently deployed to the Middle East and would love to take my family to Disney World. My daughters Eleanor (10) and Penelope (8) are in love with all things Disney and it would be epic to surprise them with a trip to Disney World in Florida when I get back from deployment. They have been so proud of their dad during this deployment and want to treat them for helping their mom around the house and keeping her spirits high. I love my family and hope that I can give them something special for keeping me motivated and taken care of the home front while I’m gone. Thank you for your consideration and no matter what, thank you for taking care of Soldiers all around the world! You are awesome!

My Name is Jalen and I would love to take my family to the Texas vs Arkansas football game. Football is my favorite sport and my son is starting his first year of tackle football. I’m not sure if I’ll get to see him play as I’m due to come home within the next couple months. This would be his first pro or college game to go to and I know he would never forget this. I will be missing his birthday so this would be a gift to him.

My name is Don. I am retired severely wounded Army veteran. I was in the Army for 22 years. My wife and I are die hard Georgia Bulldog fans and would love to attend a game in Athens. My wife has been there for me during all the deployments, rehabilitation from my Injuries all while raising our children. She is the Rock of our family and this would mean so much to me to be able to take her. I would love two tickets for me and my wife to attend a University of Georgia football game in Athens Georgia.

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.

Hero's Wish Feedback
Jose Alonso says:
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!

A dream come true family vacation is the exact way I would describe our trip. Thank you Vet Tix and the Hero's Wish coordinators for all the work that goes into this amazing program and opportunity. As a service member who will hit 20 years of service this August I have nothing but gratitude for what the military has done for myself and the life my family and I are afforded. The time away from the family is truly the only hard part of serving and it was incredible to be gifted these lifelong memories. My kids, five and seven years old, had the time of their lives. Above all else, they were most excited to be at Disney World as a family. The memories will surely last a lifetime. My son and I have spent hours sword fighting (souvenirs he chose), my daughter and I made secret hand shakes while waiting for rides and my wife (who as a military spouse, the hardest job of all) was able to take off a few of her hats, unwind and relax while just being a mother. We enjoyed our time together so much and are forever grateful to have been given this experience. A special thank you to Madeline and Raymond, our angel donors, whose selflessly generous donations will never be forgotten. On behalf of my family, thank you!

I want to thank the Veteran Tickets Foundation and all of my 11 donors for making one of dad's biggest dreams come true! I made this wish without my dad's knowledge and my family and I surprised him with the tickets. He was so surprised and I have never seen him so excited! We had the best Christmas Eve we could have ever imagined and made memories that we will cherish forever. My dad was even given an autographed ball from one of the Chiefs players who heard about his wish! Because of all of you, my dad was able to get the best send off he could before deploying to Afghanistan. He says that he's already planning our next trip to KC for when he comes home! We are all so appreciative and grateful for your support and for making this happen for my dad and our family. This experience really meant so much to us and we cannot thank you all enough..Thank you!!!!! - The Blanco Family

Thank you to everyone who had a part in sending me and my family to Disney World for the time of our lives. I wish to personally thank Stage 3 Motorsports for their generous donation in helping to make my wish a reality. It really couldn't have been a better vacation. It will definitely be memories that last a lifetime and I will never forget those that made this great time possible. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

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!!!
