My name is TSgt. Steven Wilson. I retired from the USAF in 2014 after serving for 17 years, I was deployed to Iraq, on my 4th deployment (2011) I was injured in an IED blast. I received a Purple Heart due to my TBI, I also suffer from hearing loss, back and knee pain, PTSD, migraines and memory issues. I had brain surgery in 2013 and had to cut my military career short due to ongoing symptoms from the blasts. My wife and children have supported me through all of my ups and downs since my injury, it would be nice to spend quality time with my family at the Happiest Place on Earth. I would love to take my large family to Disneyland, my children have not experienced the fun and magic of Disneyland, I would love to share that with them. I would like to request 12 three day park hopper passes so we could all go together. My children are 17, 16, 15 & 15 (twins), 14, 12, 8, 4 and nearly 3 & 3 (twins).

My name is Cpl Rick Colts, USMC 2007-2012. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran and received a Purple Heart in 2011 while on deployment in Afghanistan from injuries sustained in a IED blast while on patrol as a MWD handler. (KIA Torry L404 - Guardian of the Night) I would love to be able to take my wife and 2 kids to Disney World, that is why I am asking for 4 - 4day park hopper plus tickets. My wife and I have been married for 13yrs and have a 9yr old son and adopted my 15yr old brother back in 2020 from foster care. We moved to FL from CO in 2021 and since getting here our kids are constantly asking when we are going to take them to Disney World, but even living so close the cost of tickets is astronomical. With the help and support from Vet Tix and their donors/sponsors we could finally take our family on a much needed fun vacation so we can bond and continue to grow as a family with the magical wonder that Walt Disney World has to offer.

My name is SRA Jordan Mccants. I currently on a 6 month deployment. This will be my third holiday season that I have been in training, TDY, or deployed. My two boys, 10 and 4, have been along to go to Disney and this would be the best present for my wife and boys. Christmas is my family’s favorite holiday without me there for the past two years and now this one, it’s been hard on them. I want to make this homecoming extra special.

Dec 16th 2022

My name is John Barbare and I am 42 years old. I was medically retired from the US Army in 2014 after serving for 18 years where I had the best job in the Army – a Psychological Operations Team Chief. After joining the Army in 1997 at the age of 17, my unit traveled extensively, and I enjoyed every aspect of it. My first deployment was to Iraq during the invasion in 2004 and my unit spent over 1 year in Ramadi and Fallujah conducting combat operations on the front line. On my last deployment, in Afghanistan in 2011 I lived in a remote outpost doing Village Stability Operations in Regional Command -East conducting daily patrols for counter-terrorism operations. Six months in, I suffered a TBI and neck injury in an IED blast and spent time in the CASH until I was cleared. I wanted to be back out with my team (Purple Heart #1). Two months later, our outpost received ten 107mm rockets in the evening and I was one of several who didn’t make it to the bunker in time (Purple Heart #2). When I woke up moments later, several of us were in the CASH and then medevacked out the next day for further evaluation/treatment at the closest TBI Clinic for multiple injuries. Later, I was flown out of the country to Walter Reed where I spent 2 years recovering from my injuries which affected my legs, spine, eyes, ears, and brain. While I was recovering at Walter Reed, my unit went on the weeklong Yellow Ribbon vacation with their spouses to reconnect. After two years at Walter Reed, the Army, doctors, and my team of medical specialists decided it was in the best interest to medically retire me after 18 years. This didn’t sit well with me, as I planned to serve my entire life. I put up a fight and went to two medical review boards with a JAG, but eventually was told that I would never be able to serve again due to the seriousness of my injuries, and would need treatment for the rest of my life – which I still receive at the Veterans Affairs hospital. My wife has been a huge part of my support system throughout all the ups and downs of surgery, rehabilitation, recovery and moving forward after life in the military and being 100% disabled. We have two boys, 4 and 8 years old who bring me joy on a daily basis. We talk and dream about going to Walt Disney World every year, but never seem make it happen. Making this dream come true would allow our family to take a true R and R trip, and allow us to connect as a family and build memories that last a lifetime. It would be a dream come true especially for my kids, but also a healing, therapeutic retreat for my wife and I, since I was never able to take her on the Yellow Ribbon vacation due to my stay at Walter Reed. We would not require transportation to or from Disney World, only 4 park hopper passes for 5 days and a Disney Resort hotel with parking access, that has direct access to and from the theme parks for easy access. Thank you and God bless.

Dec 1st 2022

My name is Sgt John Real. I am active duty Air Force going on 10 years of service. I am hoping to take my wife and my son to Disney World when I return from my short tour. My son, Luka, just turned 2 in December 2021. When he was 10 months old, I deployed to Iraq. I came home for a short time, only to leave when he was 21 months for my short tour. I have never got to spend a Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or birthday with him. I would love to take him to Disney for his next birthday shortly after I return. My wife has done such a great job taking care of him and our home while I have been gone. Taking my family to Disney would be the perfect opportunity for our family to spend much needed time together. This would be both mine and my son’s first trip to Disney World and this would be the perfect chance for us to bond since I have been away from him for half of his life. We thank everyone who can help make this dream come true for us.

Hello, I'm Technical Sergeant Micah'l Lampkin. I've been in the active-duty Air Force for 13 years. My job is Material Management and I absolutely love it. You can’t fly without supply! I married my high school sweetheart, and she followed my lead and decided to join the active-duty Air Force also. We have two beautiful kids, a 4-year-old daughter and a 1.5-year-old son. Being a mil-mil couple has brought us so much closer, but it also has been difficult. Between the two of us we've been through 6 deployments and 10+ TDYs. I just recently got back from a short notice 6 month deployment to Europe. This was the most difficult deployment I’ve been on as I missed so many firsts with my son, including his first word, first steps, and his first birthday. I also missed my own birthday, my wife’s birthday and our anniversary. I know watching both our kids on her own, while still being active duty was a lot for my wife. She sacrifices so much for our family daily, and I would love to make her dreams come true. My wife and kids are huge Disney fans and have been wanting to visit Disneyland for years. I would love to surprise them with 3-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland in California. This would be our first vacation as a family of 4 and it would mean the world to me! Thank you for your consideration and thank you Vettix for giving us the opportunity to share our story.

My name is MSG David Fuqua, I am currently on a 12 month hardship tour. This has been my fourth holiday season I have missed, to include my daughters birthdays and our special fifteenth year anniversary. I have a gorgeous stay at home wife for over fifteen years, Kourtney, and My two girls, 10 and 14, who have PCS’ed with me to their sixth state and seventh school. I am requesting this Hero Wish to surprise them to an adventure they have yet to be able to see and my wives childhood dream, they deserve this more than I do and I would love to have a surprise vacation to be able to make up missed time and see their dreams come true. I am requesting with my Hero’s Wish a trip to Disney World in December of 2022 when I return, to include four day park hopper and hotel. I would be so appreciative for anything and so grateful.

Nov 13th 2022

Hi Everyone I am 1SG Donald Spring. I have been in the Virginia Army National Guard for 19 years. Over those years, I have served in 5 active duty overseas deployments to include Afghanistan, Iraq (twice), Jordan and now currently serving in the Horn of Africa for a year. My wife is currently raising our two children, Michael (7) and Aurora (19 Months), and our 3 dogs at our home in Virginia. This deployment has been especially hard on my son as I have missed his birthday, holidays, and his baseball seasons. He loves the Magic of Disney and of course our daughter will as well because she is a Princess after all!I am hoping to take my family to Disney World in November to celebrate my homecoming, my sons 8th birthday and a belated 2nd birthday for my daughter! I would like to request 3 - 5 Day Salute Park Hopper Plus with Genie Tickets, Aurora is still too young to require a ticket.

Nov 9th 2022

Hello, my name is SFC Jeremy Clinton and I have been serving in the Army Reserves for the last 19 years and am currently on my 4th deployment to the Middle East. I expect to be home in spring 2022. Previously I served two tours in Iraq (2007-2008 and 2009-2010) and one tour in Afghanistan (most of 2015). My wife and I met in 2006, wed in 2013 and are blessed to share two beautiful daughters, ages 7 and 4. On the civilian side I am a local police officer for the past 9 years (7 if you don’t count the time I’ve spent deployed). I’m not normally one to ask for help, but after speaking with my wife, I decided to do so. Growing up, my family lived paycheck-to-paycheck and never took vacations because quite frankly, my parents didn’t have the money for such. Sometimes the electric got turned off or the water turned off for a week or two at a time. Just as any father does, I hope to be able to do more for my children and my wife than my parents were able to do for me and my 5 siblings. I have worked tirelessly for most of my life. I gained my first job two weeks prior to turning 14 at a fast food restaurant and have been employed ever since, only ever having worked a total of 3 jobs. This is in addition to my military service, which I enlisted at 17 years old while I was a junior in high school with my parents’ written consent. The military hasn’t always been easy and has slowed things for me on the civilian side at times due to multiple deployments. After graduating high school, I enrolled in community college in 2005 and began studying criminal justice. I was a fulltime student while working fulltime. Due to my back-to-back deployments to Iraq, it took me 6 years to earn a 2-year degree (Associates). I was able to get hired as a police officer 14 months later. From my short story, you can see my wife has been by my side from almost the beginning. She is truly an amazing woman that I believe only other veterans’ spouses can fully understand extent of the hardships and sacrifices she too has made in support of me, our family, community and country. I am extremely fortunate to have such a dedicated wife, terrific mother and strong role model for my children. With all of that said, my wife and I are in the process of planning a trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL. My wife went there as a child and it’ll be a first for my daughters and I. Due to their ages, we had hoped to take them last year (2020) but due to the COVID pandemic, that wasn’t possible and then this year (2021), I deployed again. So we are planning for an October/November 2022 timeframe, when Halloween or Christmas décor and activities are happening. My wife and I both feel we have to get our daughters to Disney World in 2022 due to their ages so they can experience “the magic” we’ve heard others talk about before it’s too late and that magic diminishes. We live in the northeast and so we are planning to fly to Orlando, or drive, depending on how the finances workout. All together, we are hoping our vacation can last 7 days with the budget we have. To alleviate some stress and make room in our budget, I am humbly requesting assistance with acquiring tickets to the Disney World parks. My wife and I would like to take our daughters to Magic Kingdom. Again, I don’t normally ask others for help but I’m swallowing my pride at this time in hopes that I can give my family the much needed vacation they both need and deserve without sacrificing the experiences due to financial constraints. This is really about them, not me. Any assistance is better than nothing so thank you for your time.

My name is Semeli Toilolo and I am 41 years old. I was born and raised in American Samoa in the village of Vailoa (vuh-ee-lo-ah). I met my high school sweetheart, Margaret Toilolo and we got married in 1998. We have 4 boys and one girl, one grandson and another grandchild on the way. I joined the U.S Army in 2000 as an Infantryman and I was medically retired in 2015. I am a Army Veteran who served for 15 years. Four of those years and three months was the time I deployed away from my family to Iraq. We are now settled in Texas, and my two older boys are now serving in the Army, one stationing in Ft. Lewis and the other in Fort Bragg. I am a stay at home dad and grandpa, trying to make up for the times I have lost with my family. In 2007, when we were stationed in Fort Lewis, Wa, I was deployed with to Iraq with 4-9 Infantry, 2nd Infantry Division to Baquoba, Dyala Province. In one of our dismounted patrols in a crowded market street, a female suicide bomber walked in our formation and blew herself up, and wounded my whole squad, including myself. We were air MEDEVAC out to the nearest CASH in another base in Iraq called LSA Anaconda. They were able to operate and take some of the shrapnel out but left some inside my arm. I was then doing physical therapy and recovery and 6 months later I was deployed with the 1st CAV Division 1-8 CAV, 2nd Brigade, to Iraq 2009-2009, and 2011-2011. In 2014, I was diagnosed with severe PTSD and the ARMY Medboarded me out, after 25 years of service. I had been through several inpatient treatments for PTSD like PRRP, and also had been involved in small groups and wounded warrior peer support group. My injuries are both physical and mental, and it is affecting my family. My kids don’t even come to me and they only call and text their mom. I feel as if I am the bad guy in our house and nobody seems to understand me. So we are taking it one day at a time, trying to keep everything together. So I enrolled online to take some courses and I have been reading my Bible, trying to stay close to God and I meditate through prayer. I feel that is helping me to change my way of thinking and take away anxiety and depression. My plan for the future is to stay healthy and be a counselor for those veterans who are going through the same problem as me. I also plan to graduate from GCU with a BA in Christian Studies, which I am currently taking. Right now, my mother-in-law, she is 76 years old is staying with us, we are taking care of her, and my daughter and her son, my two boys and my little dog. My oldest son is deployed to Iraq. My wife doesn’t work, she is my caregiver. I also plan to graduate with my BA in Christian Studies from GCU online and use that degree to help someone battling PTSD or similar, despite if they are veterans or civilians. We have always wanted to go to Disney World but financially we can’t. If this wish comes true this will be our first family outing vacation ever. I think it would help me to get out of the house and reconnect with my family in that way. It would be a dream come true especially for my kids, but a healing therapeutic retreat for me and my wife as well. Thank you and God bless.

My Name is Spc. Dennis Colon. I’m rated 100% disabled veteran. I deployed to Iraq in 2005-2007. I just relocated myself in TX. I live on a very fixed income and I’d like nothing more than to reward my stepson, who suffers from autism and take him to WWE Raw at American Airlines Center in Dallas TX. He has always wanted to sit next to the ring and he is a big fan of John Mosley. Life has been so extremely hard. I suffer PTSD, an anxiety disorder and some other conditions and I use a service dog and would require special seating if we were to be able to attend I would be extremely grateful for any help you can provide to us.

Oct 31st 2022

My names is Kaitlin Barnett. I am currently serving my fourth deployment. I want to take a family vacation with my daughter, husband and mother when I return this winter. My mother has spent a large portion of the past year taking care of my daughter as both her parents were deployed. I want to use this vacation for some much needed bonding time and as a transitional period post deployment. I would like to take my family on a Disney World Park Hopper vacation when I return from my deployment

Currently deployed and wish to spend some time with his kids at Disney world so they can be happy and build good memories. I wish to have a family Vacation this summer at Disney World Orlando.

My name is CWO3 Jorge Agostini and I am stationed in San Diego, CA onboard the USS Carl Vinson. Completed an 8 month deployment to South China Sea. I am responsible for Crash and Salvage on the flight deck and hangar deck. I am married with three kids, twin girls are 9 years old and a 7 years old boy.

Oct 16th 2022

I’m a cowboys fan, along with our oldest son. My wife, daughter and in-laws are Eagles fans! Our youngest goes back and forth saying go Cowboys or go Eagles. My wife and in-laws are going to Philadelphia the weekend the Cowboys play the Eagles. It just so happens the game is on October 16th. The same day I stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan in 2010. My wish would be to go to the game with my family and enjoy it on my alive day. I know as a Cowboys fan walking into the Linc would be hostile territory but to experience this with my family on a day like that would really just make me happy. Also, being limb salvage for 12 years has taken its toll on my foot. I still have an open wound and am in the process of figuring out logistics to get a below the knee amputation. I go to BAMC to talk about surgery in August 2022. I most likely would have it after the game.

Oct 13th 2022

My name is SMSgt Jason Walker and I have served in the Air Force for 27 years and counting. I recently got back from a deployment in Afghanistan. I have been deployed all across the world from South Korea, Djibouti, Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and many more. My deployments have always put a great deal of stress on my wife, Gretchen, and two daughters, Simone and Saffron (18 & 12) and I haven’t been able to show them my appreciation for all they have done back here at home. I am hoping to take them on a much needed trip this summer to Disney World in Florida for some family time and a stress reliever. We’ve never taken a family vacation and this trip would mean the world to my family and I. Thank you for your consideration and God bless.

Hi! My name is Technical Sergeant Teddrick Thibodeaux, Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist. I entered the United States Air Force in 2011 and currently stationed overseas. I am currently on my 2nd deployment to a specialized base in an Afghanistan province. I have been deployed for 3 months now, working 14-hour days, no downtime and constantly on the move to sustain aircrew equipment by ensuring safety measures are in place for the individuals that fly those aircrafts, it’s a bittersweet feeling to know that I directly affect the mission and save lives daily. This deployment in particular has put a great deal of stress on my family. I am the father of two beautiful kids (Lilah (8) and Teddrick Jr (4)) and husband to my amazing wife Daisha. I want to let my wife and kids know how much I appreciate them for their sacrifices, tremendous support and love I have received from them. Every day that I’m not with them, it brings a sense of sadness that I’m missing their smiles, excitement from coming home from school, chances to watch little league and much more. I want to extend my gratitude to my family with this trip, not just for missing family time due to these deployments but for the last 12 years. I am requesting four, 4-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland, in California. This will be our 1st family vacation in 4 years. What we have been through as a family, it is very much needed! I want to personally thank Vettix and all the contributors in advance for making my kids dream come true! God Bless America!

Aug 8th 2022

My name is SSgt Antonio Antunez. I retired from the USAF in 2020 after serving for 14 years, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, on my 1st deployment to Iraq in 2007 and my squad was ambushed by small arms fire and I was wounded in an IED blast. I received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor for the injuries that I sustained and for saving the life of our interpreter by rushing inside the burning HUMVEE and getting him out to safety while engaging the enemy under fire, I was awarded a BSM with Valor. I suffer from multiple medical issues due to my injuries during my five deployments in the service. I was medically retired in 2020 after I couldn’t keep up with all of my injuries and decided to actually take care of myself, the USAF medical team told me that I couldn’t keep hiding all my injuries and that it was time to heal and that has been and will be a long journey for me and my family. My daughter and my fiancé have supported me through all of my journey it’s hard on them, but I can find love and support in them every time. After I was medically retired COVID hit and we have not been able to have a vacation, first was my Medical Evaluation Board and that was very stressful and then COVID made it even worse for my family and I. It would be an incredible experience to visit Disneyland with my family. I would like to request 3 five-day park hopper passes, to take my family this will start a journey to heal physical and mentally injuries and it would be a great to experience that with my family who has always been there for me, thank you.

Jul 23rd 2022

My name is Joe Miller I joined the military in 2006 served six years in the Army as an infantryman. I joined the military because I was young and had a baby on the way and I had no idea how I was going to provide. I wasn’t all too patriotic then, but uncle Sam and I are best friends now. We play golf on the weekends haha! I was wounded in combat and I’m a Purple Heart recipient I lost the hearing in my left ear and a lot of hearing in my right ear I took shrapnel on my legs. I’m grateful to still have my limbs and eyesight. Last Year I made a promise to my wife that I would get her and the kids tickets to see her favorite artist in the world Luke Combs in Columbus on July 23, 2022. I promised I would get her close to the stage and recently I looked at the prices and I had knots in my stomach. We’ve never been to a concert before and I didn’t know how expensive it was. My wife has been my rock. She took care of me at my worst times and she took care of me at my best times. She is a mother to my kids and I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my life. She works so hard at everything she does and never does anything for herself. Knowing I can’t afford these tickets hurts my heart and I know that she’ll completely understand but I would still love to surprise her. This would be the best dream come true for me, and her. The kids will love it too. I have never asked anyone for anything but if there’s a chance I can help her wish come true (which is my wish) I'm going to try whatever I can. I’m a very humble person and very grateful. I’m grateful for what I have and I never complain about the things I don’t have. Thank you for reading this.

Jul 18th 2022

My name is LS1 Jordan Creath. I am an active duty sailor who has served in the Navy for 15 years. I was on deployment in Kuwait/Iraq and got back in June. We had just moved to California last July and my wife and I wanted to take our kids to Disneyland around Halloween time. A few months after I checked into my command I was being shipped out for deployment. We didn't get to really explore California or do anything because I was always gone for training to prepare for deployment. I was never sure when I was going to come home because I just keep getting extended (thank goodness they didn't keep me out there until September like they wanted to.) It's been an emotional long journey and I just want to show my wife and kids that I appreciate them for all the sacrifices they have given over the past year and a half. I am requesting 4 Disneyland 3-Day Park Hopper tickets so I can take myself, my wife and our two children.

Jul 15th 2022

My name is SGT Dozier, Cristian. I am currently on back to back deployments. It has been extremely hard for my family. Missing important dates and holidays. I want to give my family a vacation they deserve. After supporting me through these two deployments and the effects it has taken on my life, from severe PTSD to several mental health problems, they have been there for me and never waivered. They're very deserving of this trip and I would love to provide that experience for them.

Jul 1st 2022

My wife and I had originally planned for a big wedding, but when COVID hit in 2020 life threw a curveball at us. We tied the knot at an intimate ceremony at the end of May 2021, and by June of 2021 I was deployed to Japan. We did not have time to have a honeymoon and now we are in the middle of a PCS to Florida. My wish is to surprise my wife with a honeymoon to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I'd love to pamper her and stay at the Disney World Resort and spend at least a weekend (3 days) at the parks, but I know she and I would appreciate any help we can get. Thank you to all the generous donors who have given endless support to all of our brothers and sisters in the armed forces.

My name is Sgt Jesse Jackson. I met my wife in Fallon, Nevada. We both had a child from our previous marriage and we have one together. We've been married now for 8 years and our boys are growing like crazy. Through most of my surgeries my wife and kids have been there for me while I recovered and I want to show the my appreciation by taking them to Legoland since all 3 of our boys love building with legos and using their imagination. I would need 5 tickets for me, my wife, and our 3 boys.

Jun 13th 2022

Hello, my name is Jason Moore. My wife and I have been active duty for almost 6 years, I’m currently on a short notice deployment. We have 4 kids (4,6,8,10) and have taken a few deployments between the two of us in the last 4 years. These last two Covid years have made it hard on the kids as well. I’d like to take them all to Disneyland when I get back as a vacation. I appreciate the consideration and everything VETTIX does for this community. Thank you

Jun 5th 2022

My name is Staff Sergeant Breno Radici. I am currenntly in the Army where I have been serving a total of 20 years with 17 of those being active duty. I started my military journey with the Marine Corps where I served for 11 years before transitioning to the Army with who I am currently deployed. During my time in service, I have been deployed all over the world, from Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain to Japan, South Korea and Spain. During this time, my wife has held the fort down and raised our two awesome boys (Michael 17 and Tyler 15). This year, Michael will be graduating high school and shipping off to Marine Corps boot camp in the fall. I have always wanted to take my family on a vacation to Disney World. I feel it would be a great show of appreciation to them for sticking by my side and making all the sacrifices they have made during the past 20 years. I would like to make this trip this summer upon returning from this deployment and before my son departs for boot camp. Thank you for your consideration of this wish and have a blessed day.
