Past Hero's Wishes
My name is Darren. My wife and I have been married for 4 years in September and during that time she has deployed twice and I have deployed once, meaning we have spent plenty of time doing long distance. We are huge baseball fans and have had the goal since we started dating back in 2016 of visiting every baseball stadium. So far we have been to 10 out of the 30 stadiums together! We are HUGE Red Sox fans and would love to attend the Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston on September 11th. With my wife and I being dual military not only would this be a great anniversary gift, but it would give us the opportunity to see our families who both live on the east coast since it is tough for both of us to request time off together. We are requesting 2 tickets to the game, preferably on the green monster but would take any seats available. We have never been able to go to a Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston, I can only imagine the energy the stadium will have! I appreciate your time and any support towards this goal. Thank you all.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I would like to say thank you to Simonne, Richard and Shayna along with the whole Vet Tix crew to make this happen! We are so thankful to have had this opportunity and it's all thanks to you. We had a great time even after it got postponed to the next day due to weather. We saw a good game but the Sox came up a little short in the end. Again, thank you for making my wish and many others like myself come true!

I'm in the Army National Guard currently serving my 3rd tour to the Middle East. I've been in the guard for 17.5 years and I'm wishing to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World when I get home from my deployment. I've been married to my wife for 12 years and we have 3 kids. During the Covid Pandemic my wife and I found out that her niece was having issues with her living situation, we decided to adopt her to give her a better life. My wife is a very strong and caring person that has had to deal with so much over my career in the military with deployments and being away for military training. I would love to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World to show them how much I appreciated their support and how much I care about them. I would like 5 (4 Day Park Hopper) passes for myself my wife and 3 kids (19, 12 & 4). If you could help make our trip possible my family would be very grateful. Thank You

I wanted to thank Vet Tix and Elizabeth, Patricia in honor of Clarence R. "Bunny" Logue, and Hero's Wish so much for donating tickets for my family to go to Disney World. We all had such a great time and we’re able to make so many memories together. Without your donation it would have been harder to make this trip possible thanks again. The Mescher’s

My name is Parker and I am currently deployed to Middle East. I have been in the Army for 14 years now, and previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. This is the second deployment for my wife, and first for all three of my kids. We have a five-year-old boy, and twin three-year-old's that love everything Disney. It would be a dream of theirs to visit Disney World when I return from my deployment at the end of summer. I would like to get passes to Disney World for my family of five.

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I've served in the active-duty Air Force for 8 years as a cybersecurity technician. I have been overseas for 4 of those years and TDY over 10 times. I have been married to my wonderful and supportive wife Carly going on six years. Recently I was tasked with a short-notice deployment to the Middle East immediately after returning home from a long TDY. This has caused me to be away from home and my family for all but two months of 2022. Throughout this, my wife has been so understanding and has been my anchor of sanity and support. I know this has been equally as hard on her as it has been for me, which is why I want to surprise her with a vacation to her favorite place on earth. My wife is a huge Disney fan and has been wanting to revisit Disney World for years. I would love to surprise her with 4-day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Florida. This would be our first vacation in two years and it would mean the world to catch up on some quality time with my wife that we both so desperately need! Thank you for your consideration and thank you Vettix for giving us the opportunity to share our story.

Hello! My name is SSG David Crabaugh. I have served 14 years in the Army National Guard with 6 of those years being either mobilized for deployment or in the Active Guard and Reserves (AGR) program. I recently returned from an 11 month rotation in the Middle East where I operated in countries such as Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. This recent rotation in which I returned days prior to Thanksgiving was a tough one being away from home unlike the last when deployed to Afghanistan. The reason for this was my two sons, Dresden (7) and Dedrick (5). I thought being gone during the younger years would be easier than when they are older but I thought wrong. The missed birthdays, holidays and spending time with them means so much more at these ages. We have been blessed with good health while I was away serving but now that I am home the boys have one desire to take daddy too, welcome to the idea of Disney World 2023! My wife, Yamilka who is from the country of Panama, is a full time student with the University of Central Missouri working on a Bachelors Degree in Nutrition. This has been challenging for her these past two semesters while I was away. She will be finished in May 2023. I want to surprise them all with a much needed family vacation to Orlando and visit the parks of Disney World and make the boys dream come true and celebrate the success of my wife and show my appreciation to them all. We are seeking assistance with 4 4-day Park Hopper Passes.

Greetings Everyone, My name is Travis Semones and I have recently returned home from a nine and half month deployment onboard USS HARRY S TRUMAN (CVN 75), in which we supported Carrier Strike Group Eight in strengthening our relationship with NATO partnership with our allies. It was originally scheduled to be a six month deployment, however due to the Russian aggression to Ukraine it quickly was extended. I have been in the United States Navy for thirty years now and have been on ten deployments. Of those thirty years in the service I have been married to my wife, Charlotte, for twenty-five of those years. We were fortunate enough to have three lovely children, Briana (24), Kylie, (21) and Brady (14). Unfortunately, due to my time in the service I have had to sacrifice much family time and have been separated from my family for an incredible amount of time and have missed some significant events in my families lives. It would be a great opportunity and honor to be considered for a Hero’s wish and be able to take my family to Disney World with a 5-day park hopper for each person in my family. I am extremely grateful for the consideration. Thank You!

I am SSgt. Nicholas Gersper. I am married with no kids "yet". I have been in the military for almost 6 years and have been stationed in Minot North Dakota and Goldsboro North Carolina. I am currently deployed to Qatar. My wife's name is Erica. When I get back I wanted to take my wife Erica to see Blackpink. This was her first time dealing with a deployment as a military spouse and she stayed home alone by herself with our dog the entire time. She has been fantastic during this difficult experience. It has been especially difficult for her as an immigrant from the Philippines and she does not drive a vehicle so it is very difficult for her to be home alone this long as she likes to be very outgoing. I wanted to try to do something really special for her. Tickets can be very expensive. I will be back to the states from my deployment in early to mid June and I'm stationed in North Carolina so I'm requesting the concert in August. I wanted to make sure I repaid her for her effort by taking her to this concert. Thank you for considering my request. V/r SSgt Nicholas Gersper

My name is Sheldon Albee. I'm currently deployed for a 3rd time in the 10 years I've been active duty in the Air Force. I have a loving wife named Jade and together have two beautiful boys Maverick (4) and Baylor (2). I have missed both of my children’s birthdays along with the holidays this year. My hope is to enjoy a family vacation together when I return home from this deployment. This is my first deployment with a wife and a 2 and 4 year old at home. The last 7 months without our family together has been very hard on us. I have missed every holiday since October, both of our children's birthdays and we would love to make up for it by going on a Disney trip! We haven't been on a family vacation since we have had kids and would love to finally go on one! We have never been to California! Disneyland would absolutely be a dream come true! None of us have ever been to Disney before so were really excited to hopefully be able to go!

My name is SPC Jeremy Shine. I am a father of an awesome 6 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with severe autism. Our little family has faced some challenges over the years but we are determined to live life to the fullest. While serving in Iraq, just a few months ago, my wife decided to put her career on hold to provide more educational assistance to my daughter, which became emotionally, physically, and financially draining. Especially because my wife has been battling a mental illness of her own. I believe that if given this opportunity, we will be able to reconnect and create new healthy memories post deployment. Who knows what that would mean for my little princess! If you are able, we are requesting 4-day hopper tickets to Orlando’s Disney Theme Parks. We are planning on going August 17-24, 2023. Thank you for your support.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I wish I could share more pictures! Words can not express the impact you provided my family this summer. To be able to visit four Disney World Theme Parks was truly a dream come true. My daughter, who is autistic, actually talked to someone (Princess Ariel) other than my wife and I, for the first time since she was 2! This gift wasn't just an opportunity to spend time together, it provided an opportunity for growth. Thank you sponsors!
