Hello My name is Petty Officer Brandon Moore. I am currently serving Active Duty with the United States Coast Guard and have been for the last 11 Years. My Wife and I have 4 beautiful Children together. I have been deployed 12 months out of the last 24 months. It is hard explaining to my little ones that I am going to be gone for a while. I have missed countless Holidays, Birthdays, and most of all my kids growing up. My wish is to take my wife and 3 kids to Disney World in hopes that I can recreate some missed memories! Thanks in advance!

My name is Staff Sergeant Corey Keleher. I’ve just returned from a 7 month deployment, and I’m looking to surprise my family with a park hopping trip to Universal Studios. I’d love to bring myself, my wife, my 2 year old son (3 in December), and my father-in-law (25 year Army combat veteran) to see this great event.

My name is TSgt Huberr Hansen. I have just returned home from a deployment to Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. My girlfriend wants nothing more than tickets to Wicked, the musical at the Overture center in Madison, WI. I would love nothing more than to surprise her with front row tickets for Christmas. The prices are far more than I can afford. She has said for the last several years that if Wicked ever comes back to Madison that she wants to go. She is a wonderful woman, with twin five year olds that I am helping to raise as my own. While I was deployed she kept it together, mowing the grass, shoveling snow, looking after my house and my dog. She deserves something truly special.

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.

Apr 7th 2021

I have just returned from a 9 month deployment to Iraq and Syria. My wife has held down our household and navigated the COVID pandemic by herself while caring for our two children and attending school full-time to become a nurse. This deployment has been far from easy but we are grateful we made it through. The next several months will be filled with new challenges and changes. Our wish is to take a family trip to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL before I begin a new assignment in two months and we PCS from NC to TX. We are requesting four 4-Day Park Hopper tickets to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. Thank you in advance!

Hello all! My name is Jamie. I am a husband and father of three. My wife and three kids has been my biggest supporters along the way. They have served just as much as I have in the past 15 years of my career, yet I do not feel they get nearly as much recognition. I would love to be able to show them my appreciation for all of their support these past years. To be able to take them on a post deployment vacation to either, Disney or Universal Studios, in Orlando would be the best way for all of us to reconnect, make new memories, and make up for all I have missed out on the past 7 months. Five tickets will be needed for myself, my wife, and three kids.

Mar 1st 2021

My name is Spc Roobentroff Dragon. I am currently serving abroad. I have been overseas for close to a year and I would love to come home and be able to make my son's wish come true. He always wanted to go to Universal Studios Orlando. I would need 3 tickets. This would be a great opportunity to spend some quality time as a family.

God Bless America, my name is SSgt Andrew Rux, I am currently deployed to the Middle East as part of Operation Inherent Resolve. I hope to return home around the middle of December if we do not get extended again. It has been my dream to take my wife and two children to Disney World for a trip they will never forget. Money has always been tight with a trip so expensive. My family has been incredibly supportive and strong during my deployment. I would live to show my appreciation by making their dreams come true. I am only requesting 3, four day park hopper tickets due to my daughter being too young to need a 4th ticket. Thank you to all that donate to this dream and others that are serving this great country. Its the generous people we fight for that make time in the military worth every minute. Your contributions mean more than you know to soldiers. Thank you.

Dec 11th 2020

Growing up, it was always my dad's wish to take us to the Disney parks in Orlando. We were a family of 6, so it wasn't easy to coordinate or plan on an enlisted soldier's budget. When I was 13, that desire was made impossible, as my dad was killed in action while on convoy near Haditha, Iraq. Now, with two little boys of my own, my dream is to fulfill that family experience with my own young children. We would be greatly appreciative of any help to make that dream a reality. Thank you for your generosity.

Oct 25th 2020

I’ve always wanted to take my family to Disney World but with 3 of my 5 kids being special needs, money is a large obstacle. I’m currently on deployment and desperately want to take my family to Disney when I return from this long deployment. We are a family of 7 and this cannot ever happen without a granted wish as I barely make what we need to survive. I’m an E-4 been in service for 8 years and on a 15 month deployment to Iraq

Sep 21st 2020

My name is SSgt Vernon Rowe. I am medically retired from the Army after serving 10 years on active duty as a Paratrooper. I was injured on every deployment. I have a Family of 6, my Wife and 4 children. I have a beautiful family, my Wife, 3 boys age 2, 9,11, and a little girl 9 months old and they have always wanted to go to Universal's Islands of Adventure Theme Park. This would be my wish, to make this trip come true for them.

Sep 14th 2020

My name is SSgt. James Mullennix. I am currently deployed and will be returning home in July. My wish would be to have my family and I be able to take a family trip to Disney World once I get back from my deployment as they had moved my deployment date up to miss both my eldest's birthday celebration and Christmas. I have been married for over 10 years and we have two wonderful daughters Autumn (8) and Merida (6). In 2018 we were displaced by Hurricane Michael, a category 5 hurricane that made direct landfall on our base, destroying Tyndall and our home. Shortly after that, a drunk driver totaled my wife's car. We spent the year following that trying to get settled in only to find that I would be deploying and possibly moving again in the fall of 2020 to a new assignment. I want my family to experience the magic of Disney World, and to know that there can be fun and peace where no one worries, even if only for a short time. Thank you for your consideration in making my family's dreams come true.

My name is SSG Kevin Dubois. I have been a solider in the US ARMY for almost 9 years. I have had 2 deployments. I just recently returned from a 9 month deployment to Iraq. During deployment I missed my daughter's 3rd birthday and the only thing she has asked for is to got to Disney when I got home. Our money is tight because we are paying off debt so we can buy a home in a few years. So my wish is to take my 3 year old daughter and wife to Disney during my Christmas vacation. So any help to make her wish come true would be very appreciated.

My name is GMG3 Glenn Cernosek. I am a 100% disabled Navy veteran. I served in Vietnam on river patrol boats (PBR's). I was wounded and have PTSD. The Veterans Administration has published documents that prove that art activities, such as painting, can help someone with PTSD cope with those difficulties. I would like to attend a workshop to learn to oil paint in the outdoors, and learn to sell my paintings to supplement my income. The Plein Air Convention & Expo will be held next year in Denver Colorado, May 2-6, 2020. There are over 80 top master artists that will be teaching at this event. There are also sessions about how to market my paintings. The event is fully explained at www.PleinAirConvention.com

My name is TSgt Ryan Marra. I am in the Air Force, Security Forces career field and currently deployed to the Middle East. I have been in the Air Force for over 18 years out of New Jersey. I met and married my wife of 15 years while I was stationed at Malmstrom AFB, Montana. Since then we have 2 awesome, resilient children that have been all over the world. Now that I’m currently deployed, I want to give back to my family after all these moves that I’ve put them through after volunteering for so many different things while in the Air Force. With this possibly my last deployment, I need some help setting up a trip to Disney in Florida for them. Once I return I want to take them to Disney World in Orlando. I thank you for your consideration and help.

My name is MSgt Kyle Overby. I am from Wisconsin and currently stationed in North Carolina. I would love to take my family of 5 to see the Milwaukee Bucks play against the Charlotte Hornets when they play on March 1st. It would be our first NBA game. We would love for our first experience at an NBA game to be as close to the court as possible. That would be amazing although we would all just be excited to see a game in person.

Hello, I am TSgt Edric Johnson. I am currently in month 4 of a 6 month deployment at an undisclosed location. This is my second deployment in 3 years. My lovely wife (Debra) and daughter (Sydney) have been patiently awaiting my return. This hasn't been the easiest of deployments cause we miss each other terribly. I'm sure it's not easy on all of my fellow brothers and sister in arms who are away from their loved ones. Sydney and Debra have been my pillar of strength to help me through this deployment. To show my deepest gratitude, I am making a Hero's Wish. I would love to receive 3 Disney World 4 day park hopper tickets and give them the experience of a lifetime. Thank you for your support.

I would like to ask for lift tickets for the family. We live relatively close so we would not need transportation.

Jan 27th 2020

My name is SFC Victor Long. I am currently on my 5th overseas deployment, and coming up on my 16th year of service with the US Army. I've missed countless birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, my son's first day of kindergarten, family events, etc. My wife is our family's cheerleader, supporter, advocate, teacher, nurse, taxi driver and more. Our 5 year old son was diagnosed with Autism right before his 2nd birthday. She always makes certain he has every resource, therapy session, doctor's visit, and specialized care he needs to thrive. My dream is to surprise my wife and son with a trip to Disneyland. It has been their wish to go when I return from deployment. Due to my unpredictable schedule, we haven't been able to take a family vacation since our son was born 5 years ago, and I would love this opportunity to reconnect as a family at The Happiest Place on Earth!

Jan 20th 2020

My name is SPC John Howard and I am currently deployed in the Middle East. My wife and I have a two year old son and I will finally be coming home later this year. I have missed many of my child's milestones, birthdays, and holidays and my wife has gone above and beyond in holding the house and family together without me. I would like to treat my family to our first trip to DisneyWorld to be able to catch up on lost time with my son and treat my wife to a much needed vacation. I would like to give them the experience of a lifetime in thanks for their sacrifice. Thank you all for your incredible generosity in helping provide this experience for my family!

I'm not sure if this fits the mold of the regular wish, but if I only get one chance I want to swing for the fences. I'm asking for 5 of the lowest tier Disneyland Season Passes while I go through VOC Rehab to get job retraining. I've been unemployed or severely underemployed for over a year and I desperately need to get into a new job field. The VA is going to provide that retraining in the IT field, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. However, I'm going to be gone most days from sun up to well past sundown for the next 7 months. We live very close to Disneyland, California, and my young kids still see all the Magic. It would be amazing to be able to take them for a few hours here and there over the next few months to help pass the time. I cant help feel greedy asking for season passes but minus the cost of travel the difference from a single day use ticket isn’t much. Thank you!

Jan 15th 2020

My name is MSgt Payan,I just returned from A 6 Month deployment and want to surprise my family by taking them to the happiest place on earth. These past 6 months my wife has done a awesome job continuing the daily grind of raising our two boys.

My name is SGT Aaron Keehn. I have a beautiful family. An amazing wife and beautiful 4 yr old little girl named Lily Rose. I am presently completing a 9 month deployment over seas, which resulted in me missing out on holiday and family events, including my daughter's 4th birthday. I would love to take my wife and daughter to Walt Disney World upon return from deployment. This is my second deployment, and I can't think of a better way to make up for lost memories, than building new ones at Walt Disney World. I would like to make a Hero’s Wish to request (3) Disney World 5-day park hopper tickets for my family.

Jan 1st 2020

Hello, I am SSGT Zachary Stallings. I am currently on a nine month deployment at an undisclosed location. This is my third deployment. My amazing wife, Catherine, two daughters, and baby boy are awaiting my arrival. This is the second deployment that I have missed most of a child's first year and milestones. I was lucky to be there for the birth this time. My wife has dealt with a lot of stress and hardship raising the kids on her own while in school. My girls have struggled the past few months in my absence. My wish is to make their dreams come true and take them to Disneyland. They are stuck in Alaska with no support. I would love to receive 4 Disneyland 4 day park hopper tickets to treat them for all of their patience and support. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am SFC (R) Jim Daigle. I was medically retired from the U.S. Army. I have been wounded twice serving in Afghanistan. This resulted in numerous injuries from which I have recovered as much as possible but am unable to continue serving. Although surgeries and rehab have helped the pain and mobility significantly, I am limited in regards to the activities I can participate. We have 2 sons in the military (Army and USMC) 1 of which has also been wounded and has a Purple Heart. Both are currently deployed overseas so thanks to the 3 of us, my wife's worry level is thru the roof! I would love to reward my wife Tina, who has taken on a lot, and is a HUGE LADY GAGA fan with a special trip to see Lady Gaga in Las Vegas. She has never been able to see her due to deployments, duty stations and moving and this would mean the world to her. Please allow us this special once in a lifetime LADY GAGA ENIGMA evening. Thanks VETTIX!!

Dec 29th 2019

My Name is SSG Jennifer York. I recently came back from deployment in August on emergency leave. My 15 year old son was staying with his dad & grandparents in Amarillo while I was deployed, which was supposed to be thru November. However, his dad went missing and despite exhaustive search efforts, authorities could not find him. My son started his junior year & his 1st year playing Varsity without his dad on the sidelines to cheer him on like he always had. My son wanted to stay & finish the school year there so I drove back & forth to watch him play every home game he played after my emergency leave was up & I had to return back to post. Hopes were still high that we would eventually find his dad and in early October we did, just not in a joyous sense. With his father's passing, I'd like to take him and my dad, who's been a Cowboys fan for over 40 years, to a Dallas Cowboys football game while I'm on post-deployment holiday block leave. I want to take my son to get him out of the house around Christmas, create new memories, and hopefully provide a distraction for the first holiday season without his dad. The reason I'd like to include my own dad, aside from him being a loyal fan, is that at 63 he's had 4 heart procedures, to include a quadruple bypass when he was 49. Currently, some of the bypasses is becoming blocked that can't be fixed with stents & the doctor found a blockage on his heart they call the "Widowmaker". He's currently doing well & staying active but I know it's only a matter of time. We can't take for granted there'll be a next year & I pray I'll be able to create this memory for the three of us through your generous support. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS!

My name is Tsgt Joye Lamme. I was deployed to the 455 EMDG Bagram Afghanistan from Oct 18 to April 19. I was away from my family for almost 7 months. I missed both my oldest's freshman and senior years due to deployments. I have 2 boys who have been amazing troopers. I'm lucky they are so understanding and adaptable. As a huge Minnesota Vikings fan I would love to be able to go and watch the Vikings play Green Bay at their home stadium with amazing seats! I have just got back from my second deployment to Afghanistan. All of my deployments have been during Football season. Thank goodness for AFN but we were limited on the games that they showed.

Dec 23rd 2019

My name is Michael Emerick. I am a combat wounded veteran that served in Afghanistan. During my 16 month deployment I was involved in numerous firefights and sustained a traumatic brain injury after being shot in the helmet. I suffer from debilitating migraine headaches, neck and back issues, double/blurred vision and PTSD. After my deployment I decided that I didn't want to raise a family in the military. I was honorably discharged and moved to Texas to go to Universal Technical Institute. I graduated at the top of my class only to realize that I could not sustain long hours of working underneath vehicles with my back and neck issues. I am now a full time Dad taking care of our five children while my wife works to support our family. Christmas time with five children is incredibly chaotic. We love our large family, but sometimes the joy of Christmas is overshadowed by gifts. We decided we would love to take our five children to Disney World to create lasting memories rather than give them gifts. However, Disney World tickets are much more expensive than we could've imagined, especially for a family of seven.

Dec 20th 2019

Hello my name is Nichelle. I am a wife and mother of three amazing children. We have suffered tremendous loss over the past couple years. 3 years ago, our house burned down, and we lost nearly everything. We have since been building back up. We are grateful and thankful to have survived the ordeal. Late 2018, we did a military move to be closer to family. Shortly after arrival, I was given a short notice deployment and had to deploy 2-weeks later. Shortly upon arrival, I received word that my 19-year-old brother died. I had to break the news to my children and rush back home to coordinate and ensure all his funeral arrangements. We were devastated. Since being reassigned home, my brother was always spending time with us. After the funeral, I returned to duty to finish my commitment. I'm currently on my second deployment and I try to speak to my kids every day. Everyday my heart breaks because without fail, they tell me how much they miss me and want me to come home. I missed them too. My kids Jade (7), Mya (5), Eli (5) are so resilient, they've been through so much at such a young age. I want to be able to do something special for them and show them how much I love and appreciate them and the sacrifices they've made through my service to this country. My children, always talk about going to Disney World. I would like to help make that happen for them when I return from deployment. It's just what we as a family need to reconnect and have fun. My family graciously requests 5 tickets.

Dec 18th 2019

I'm currently deployed and come back at the end of November or beginning of December. My kids favorite Christmas movie is The Polar Express and my wife and I think our 4 kids would absolutely love to actually ride on the Adirondack Scenic Train and their Polar Express trip. It would be great to not only get my family in the Christmas mode but also to reconnect as a family. I'm requesting 6 tickets because my wife and I have 4 kids and we dont want to leave anyone out.
