Past Hero's Wishes
Sep 11th 2023 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 |

Sep 9th 2023 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. |

Sep 5th 2023 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. |

Aug 5th 2023 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! |

Jun 15th 2023 Hello everyone, my name is IS2 E. Castro. I joined the Navy reserves in 2016 and have been on two deployments so far [one to Jordan (2020), and one throughout Kuwait/Iraq/Syria (2022-2023)]. Unfortunately, this deployment has been pretty rough on my family. From a car accident (car totaled, but no serious injuries), to my oldest son getting sick and having dangerously low platelet counts (now recovered). Throughout all of this (and many other stressors) I managed to persevere and push on with my deployment with the support of my strong family. It was tough not being able to support them in the ways I usually would, but I'm looking to make it up to them in the little ways that I can. I would like to take my wife and three boys out to enjoy a few days at Disney World. None of us have ever been, and my children are absolute Disney fanatics. I would love to see the smiles on their faces and watch their little eyes light up. Please help me in this effort. I appreciate your time and any support towards this goal. Thank you all. |

May 24th 2023 Hello, I am a Purple Heart Recipient and Wounded Warrior who is 100% Disabled from being Combat Wounded in Afghanistan. My “Hero's Wish” may seem a bit funny to some but I’m requesting tickets to see Morgan Wallen in Austin, TX on May 24, 2023, it’s not because I think he’s cute hahaha, it’s because I want to surprise my wife with them. My wife has fought for me, for my care, attended every doctor’s appointment leading up to my Med Board process and throughout it, even while 7 months pregnant with our 3rd child. She gave up her career to raise our children, including that 3rd child who was severely disabled by being exposed to toxic mold in base housing. She’s still fighting for me despite having to fight for him nonstop as well now. She’s a rockstar and completely deserves this.. I just can’t afford to make it happen due to have our special needs son. Tricare unfortunately doesn’t cover the doctors, supplements, therapies and testing he needs. Anyway, so my wish is to take her to see Morgan Wallen since he’s coming here in a few months. I really appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and can help fulfill this wish. Thank you and God bless! |

Mar 6th 2023 Hello, my name is Nelson Martinez. I am a retired Marine, husband, and father of 4. I retired summer of 2018 after 22 years of service. Throughout my service, I had various combat tours and assignments, making it difficult to have a Disney World trip, much less plan it. While in the Marine Corps, I dedicated myself to accomplishing the mission first. I often put the Corps and mission first and my family second, and I could only do this through my wife, children, friends, and family's support. Both my wife and I sacrificed much to make our time in the Corps work. I deployed three times to Iraq between 2003 and 2009. I also deployed twice in support of Operation Enduring Freedom to Africa and Afghanistan in 2001-02 and again to Afghanistan in 2010. In between deployments, I was assigned to commands that trained Sailors or Marines for combat deployments or headquarters commands that planned combat deployments for various units. I also spent time at the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Batallion in 2011. My time at Wounded Warrior Battalion was to take care of injuries I sustained in 2003 deployed to Iraq and a TBI I received in 2010 while deployed to Afghanistan. Between 2001 and 2010, I was heavily deployed and ignored many physical, mental, and emotional issues and injuries to accomplish the mission overseas. Like many veterans during that time, the mission to fight and train for combat came first. Because of that, many veterans, myself included, caused and faced issues not just for ourselves but for our families. Our families sacrificed greatly to help us accomplish our mission. Now that I have been retired for some time and our children are a little older, we can finally plan a trip to Disney World. We have never taken a "true" family vacation for the reasons described above, and we have always taken short weekend trips somewhere or made the best of our children's sports events requiring travel. This year, however, my spring break from college classes and our kids' spring break from elementary and high school line up, making it easy to plan a family trip. Our family is a total of 6. My wife and I have three boys, aged 22, 16, and 9, and our daughter, 14. I am asking for help to purchase 6 tickets for our family to Disney World for the week of March 6-11, 2023. I would greatly appreciate any help to make this dream possible for my family. This trip will be a blessing for our family's many sacrifices. I thank everyone ahead of time for helping me make this dream come true for them SEMPER FIDELIS! |

Jan 8th 2023 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). |
