My name is SSG Tanner Kuth. I would love to attend the Louder than life music festival in September 28-30 with my fiance and my kids. We would be driving up from Georgia and camping for the event. I was injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2009 breaking my neck, back, butt, and both feet and legs. Ultimately I lost my left leg below the knee and went 70% blind in my right eye.

Feb 22nd 2019

I am a member of the Ohio Army National Guard that was called up to active duty shortly after our wedding and deployed over our first wedding anniversary. My wife and I have been together going on five years now, she is my best friend and the love of my life. This was my second deployment but it was her first. She handled all of life’s speed bumps while I was deployed and id it with a smile. She managed a new home, our son, finances for both of us, and all of this while also working a stressful full time job. When I returned home I went almost immediately right back to work and life just never allowed us to do anything to celebrate our marriage or even the first anniversary of our vows. She is an amazing woman and HUGE country music fan. I would love to give her tickets to either Luke Combs or Chris Young. I don’t think anything I could ever do or say would ever fully show how much I truly love and appreciate everything she does to allow me to do what I do. We live in Columbus Oh and type of extended travel would be out of the question with our son back in school. Luke Combs will be in Columbus come February and she would love to be able to go, and if it's possible get to meet Luke. From the bottom of my heart I would appreciate any help in making this happen for her.

My name is CPT James Houston. Our family has just survived a year long deployment. This included a move across the country for my wife and five teens while I was away. They are all avid Harry Potter fans and I'd love to create a memorable, relaxing experience to have a delightful time together with one week for all 7 of us at Orlando Universal Studios' "Wizarding World of Harry Potter". Our kids have always dreamed of going but we have never been able to make that happen. Would love to have this trip be our Christmas this year. Thank you so much.

Dec 17th 2018

My name is SFC Kevin Dewey. I have been active duty Army for 22 years and just completed my 13th deployment. This deployment was extra hard on my wife and daughter as they gave up everything to join me at my new duty station just months before I left for Iraq. My wife has been unsuccessful in finding a job in our new town and has been worrying constantly about every little thing. She supports me in everything I do without complaint. My family shares a love of everything Harry Potter. It is my wish to take them to Universal Studios and Universal Adventure Island to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the parks. I would love to be able to take them during the Christmas break as last Christmas was an exceptionally difficult one for many reasons. Christmas is supposed to be a time for families and I want to be able to take mine on a dream vacation to allow my wife time to relax and spend some much needed fun time with my daughter. My wish is for 4-day park hopper passes to Universal Studios. I have a family of 3 including myself. Thank you Vet Tix and all your donors for your continued support.

Dec 15th 2018

My name is 1LT Steven Sexton and I am currently deployed with the 79 Infantry Brigade Combat Team in support of Operation Joint Guardian. As it stands now, I will be home just in time for Christmas, therefore my wish is for 4 Disneyland/California Park hopper tickets so I can celebrate a special holiday season with my family when I return. Once this deployment is completed; of my first 29 months in the service I will have been away from my family for 16 of those months. Through it all, my wife has been very supportive each time I have had to leave for deployment, schools or state emergency, all while holding down a full-time job as a first grade teacher and taking care of our two energetic daughters. So this wish is not just for me but for my family who I believe deserve a special gift for the holidays. Thank you.

I am CW3 Dennis White, a member of the Indiana National Guard with the 38th Sustainment Brigade, currently serving in Kuwait in support of several operations. I have been blessed to serve my State and this great Nation for over 23 years. I am married to Angela and have three boys Shad, Jaden and Brenner as well as a sweet girl, Brayleigh. All of my kids and especially my wife, have made countless sacrifices in order for me to serve. I have missed countless anniversaries (2 back to back these past years), birthdays, and a majority of my son's Senior year in High School. I also coach sports for my hometown school, Paul Hadley Middle School, as a lay coach and have missed this years sports teams and the ability to coach and mentor young student athletes. I really want to represent them and my family well while serving and want to take my family to Disney as a thank you for their enduring sacrifices they make so that I can do the job I love. I would love to take the family to Disney World after my deployment. The past year even for the train up has been non-stop with over 8 weeks on and off of training and now this deployment. Would love to be able to spend time with my family of 6 at Disney World. We have had to table trips because of many other time demanding events and need some away time as a family. It would be a true privilege to receive this Wish of 6, 5 day Armed Forces Salute tickets in order to treat my family to a well deserved get away. Thank you for your consideration and thank you for supporting this who serve.

My name is SSgt Luke Jones and I am currently deployed. I have a lifelong dream to take my wife and my parents to see a Vikings game in Minnesota. We are HUGE Vikings fans and it would be a dream come true. Since I was a child I’ve always wanted to beat the drum or blow the horn before the game. November 24 is my wife’s birthday and I would love to take her to the November 26 Sunday Night game vs the Green Bay Packers. March of last year my brother passed away unexpectedly and at the one year mark I was deploying. It has been a rough year on my whole family and my biggest wish would be to bring smiles to my parents faces.

Nov 24th 2018

My name is SGT Bruce Messer. I am born and raised in Ohio and have always been a Buckeyes fan. I've never in my life been to a game in person. I've always dreamed of going to a game and of course the ultimate game would be against our biggest rival. I have friends I would love to take. I'm a disabled veteran of combat and can't work. I am married with 6 children. 4 of which are still in school and two that have graduated, one that is engaged to be married. I live off of disability and SSI, and my wife works full time to make sure we have extra cash after bills. We focus all of our funds to bills and our kids so buying tickets is out of the question for me.

Nov 20th 2018

My Name is Capt. Kevin Ashley. I am in the Alabama Army National Guard of the 208th CBRN Company. I am married (Krista Ashley) with two children (Anna Klaire Ashley -12, Carson Ashley - 10). Both my children are huge Harry Potter fans. I would like the opportunity to share in their love for Harry Potter by taking them to Universal Studios Orlando for three days during their fall break in October of 2018.

Nov 18th 2018

My name is SSG Joseph Weghorst. I'm in the Army with 12 years of service, I'm on my 4th deployment, 3 to Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan. This deployment I am in Iraq and have been away for 5 months, prior to this I did one 15 month tour to Iraq, and 12 to Iraq and Afghanistan. I joined the Army when my kids were 5 and 3 and have spent all four of my deployments away from them. This year is my daughters senior year of High School and I have missed it, but should be home just in time for her graduation and would like to take her to Disney after graduation and before college. For block leave prior to this deployment I was suppose to take her to Disney, but my mother tested positive for breast cancer so we cancelled our Disney trip and visited my mother.

Nov 17th 2018

I am Chief Petty Officer Christopher Fisk and have been in the Navy for 12 years. I have a beautiful family of 6. My wife Hannah and my children Heaven, Italia, Derek, and Maddox. I recently just got back from my deployment to Iraq and Kuwait. This past deployment was the hardest one to date since I deployed when my youngest son was just 3 months old. My wife had to take care of three children plus a newborn all by herself during my deployment. We just recently moved to Florida from California and the children are having a hard time making friends at their new schools and also getting adjusted. Since I have been back from deployment our family has not been able to spend quality time together due to our PCS among other things. It would mean everything to my family to be blessed with this and we would love to experience the magical moments Disney World has to offer. A trip to Disney World would be the ultimate blessing for our family as it allows us to spend quality time together and reconnect. Please consider this request as you would be making a true impact in our lives and we would be forever grateful. Thank you in advance and God bless.

My name is SFC John C. Thomas. I was severely wounded in Iraq 2003 when a car bomb hit the police station where I served. Thankfully, I was able to continue to serve for another 9 years until my retirement in 2014. I find it a privilege to have been able to serve my country for over 2 decades. My hope is to watch the New England Patriots in our home state of Tennessee. The Patriots play the Tennessee Titans on Veterans’ Day 2018. I have been waiting for this opportunity to share with my wife for many years. We have 2 young daughters and do not get much time just to ourselves. This would be such a pleasure for the 2 of us.

Nov 11th 2018

My name is Susan Jaenke, I am a Gold Star mother. My daughter HM2 Jaime S Jaenke, my daughter was KIA, 06/05/2006. Her Sea Bee group was sent out to clean up schools and hospitals. She was a Corpsman with MNCB25. She was killed in Anbar Providence on June 5th 2006. A series of Daisies went off under her HumVee killing her and the Driver. Jaime was the first female from Iowa to be killed in combat. She served both Navy and Marines. Since my daughters death we have had our vehicles repossessed and because there is no help for guardians I lost my house. Jaime had a daughter Kayla and I was gifted with raising her and if you know anything about children being raised by non parents but by Guardians you know that we lived on a shoe string. Kayla is now 21 and in college and working toward the medical field as was her Mom. She wants to work in Head traumas and brain injuries. She attends EIU. During the years after she passed, with the help of then Congressman Latham, we helped add muscle to the Sailors and Soldiers act, and changed the wording to the gratuity putting the control back into our warriors hands. The wording was changed and that change made the Warrior's wishes mandatory instead of the government wishes. My wish is to go to Disney World in Orlando, Fl.

I am currently scheduled to get back to Camp Pendleton in October a month early then scheduled and will be surprising her. I would like to take my daughter and wife to see my daughters favorite band twenty one pilots on 10 November 2018 at the forum in Inglewood Ca. These tickets will allow me an opportunity to do share something she loves while being able to reconnect from my time away. She is a great kid and deserves this opportunity.

Nov 5th 2018

My name is Major Ryan White. I am currently deployed and part way through what will be a long 8 month separation. I am leaving behind my beautiful wife and two kids with a promise to make up the months of memories and moments when I return. My son is a huge Disney and Star Wars fan, and my daughter is just now warming up to the idea of a six foot tall Minnie Mouse. When I return I fully intend on taking my family on a much deserved vacation to California's Disneyland. I am asking for 3 tickets to a 5 day Disneyland adventure where my family and I can relax, recovery, and recoup some missed moments together. Thank you for all of your support and God bless.

My name is Technical Sergeant Bradley Molnar. I have served in the Air Force for over 12 years and I will be returning from my 4th deployment this month. I would love to take my family to see the Michigan State Spartans play the Michigan Wolverines at Spartan stadium on October 20th 2018. I am a huge Michigan State Spartan fan and my wife loves the Michigan Wolverines. It is always fun for us on game day and it would be even more special to see them play from the stands instead of on TV. I am requesting 4 tickets to the Michigan State vs Michigan football game on October 20th, 2018.

Oct 10th 2018

My name is SPC. Quinn Jensen. I became wounded after serving in Afghanistan and was hit by an IED explosion. This resulted in many injuries including a TBI, broken back, broken elbow and both of my heels being shattered. I spent three months as an inpatient at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio where I received numerous surgeries and then continued to receive rehabilitation for several months following. Upon returning home to Utah, the pain in my right foot was too much to bare and was forced to have my right leg amputated. Although it has helped the pain significantly, I am very limited to the activities I can participate with my kids due to all my other injuries as well. My wife, Monica, and I have been saving to take our kids to Disney World to give us quality time to spend as a family and create wonderful memories. We feel like it will create a better bond with myself and the kids as well as a family as a whole. We continue to save and will do everything we can to make it happen, but worry we will struggle to make it happen. We have five children; Kennedi (11), Brayden (8), Wyatt (5), Caleb (2), and Emeri (10 months). They have been so patient and understanding with my situation with not being to be involved in physical play, and I want them to know how much I appreciate their support. I also want to give my wife, who does the majority of the work around the house since I am unable to and cares for our kids most of the time, a small break or vacation from all the cooking and cleaning up she does on a daily basis!My wish is for Park Hopper Tickets to Disney World for me and my family..

Oct 10th 2018

My name is MSgt Ryan Letourneau. I am currently deployed to Al Udeid AB since March 25. I’m coming home end of September and would be a nice surprise to take the wife and kids to see their favorite band! I wish to take my wife and 3 kids to the Foo Fighters Concert in Denver Colorado on October 10th. I would need 5 tickets.

Oct 6th 2018

My name is Cpl. Joshua McCart. While on my 2nd deployment with the 82nd Airborne (1/325) the truck I was in was hit by an IED( Feb.2007). This blast resulted in loss of hearing, multiple shrapnel wounds and the loss of my right hand. Like most people experiencing severe combat wounds I have been through many surgeries and even more mental and emotional struggles. I have been married for 12 years this year and have a 17 year old and 7 year old son. We would like to go to Universal Studios this October because it is a place that has something for every age. My 17 year old graduated this month and will start college soon. I would also like to take my mother in law who has been by our side every step of our journey. She has traveled when needed and watched the kids and dogs for every surgery or issue we have had during my recovery. Not to mention she has been an invaluable support for my wife so that my wife could in turn be supportive to me.
