Nov 29th 2015 Greetings, my name is Jason Adams and I recently returned from my fourth deployment. I am stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, but I'm coming back to Denver to spend some time with my brother and sister and their families. This will be the last visit for awhile as I am being stationed in South Korea for two years. I would love to take my wife and kids to see my team, the Denver Broncos, when they play the New England Patriots on November 29th. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and GO BRONCOS!!! |

Nov 28th 2015 I am currently deployed. I am coming home in a few weeks and would love to catch a Portland Trailblazers game vs. the LA Lakers on the 28th of November in Portland. I am a huge Basketball fan and would like to go see Kobe Bryant before he retires. I'd also just love to go to a game. I haven't been to an NBA game in years. |

Nov 26th 2015 Hello, my name is Tyler Stauffacher and I was born and raised a die hard Green Bay Packers fan. My earliest memories are of my Grandfather, Father and aunts and uncles all huddled around the floor model zenith on Packers Sundays. We have now been blessed to have an outstanding team that we are proud of. The glory days have brought high ticket prices and no availability. People are now born live, and die a Packers fan, while on an endless season ticket waiting list. My Father, now in his late 50’s, didn’t make it to Lambeau until 2007 when I purchased tickets for him off an exchange with money I received from a re-enlistment bonus while deployed. My mother to this day has never been to the mecca of pro football that is Lambeau field. The thing most people don't understand is that when you enlist to serve in the military it takes more than just personal courage. That responsibility to serve extends to everyone in your life that loves and cares about you. My request is less about my wants and more about giving back to the ones who love and support me and my decision to continue to serve. I am requesting not only 4 tickets to Lambeau Field but asking that you help create a memory. A memory I can share with my heroes my Parents Vicki and Terry along with my wife Allison. Without them I wouldn't be the man I am today and definitely wouldn't be able to continue to defend this country that we all love. I chose this thanksgiving day game specifically because I know I will be able to take leave from my unit to attend. I would like to thank whoever is reading this for taking the time to consider my request. I truly believe programs and organizations such as this are what is right with America today. Very respectfully, Sergeant First Class Tyler A. Stauffacher |

Nov 8th 2015 My name is SGT Aaron Kent. I have three little girls, oldest is 4, 2 and a 5 month old. I missed the oldest being born, and just barely made it back for the last 2. I am missing my oldest daughters first day of kindergarten due to being up at fort Leonard Wood for Advance leaders course. Me and my three friends wish to go to see a Dallas cowboys vs Eagles game with your help if possible. CPL Ross, SGT Arce, and SPC Sigers, All three of us met at fort hood, and have been with each other all through the deployment to Liberia. we all look out for each other and talk about Sports and Fantasy Football to help the day go by. SPC Sigers and his wife were blessed with a beautiful baby boy just a week before we left so that was really hard on him for his first deployment, and my wife was having complications with our daughter during her pregnancy which scared me while I was waiting to get back to her and my girls. But thank god I made it back in time to see the birth of my beautiful daughter Emma. |

Oct 10th 2015 My name is SPC Amado R. Punto Jr. I am currently deployed in Romania. From Aug 2011 to Sept 2012 I had my first deployment and spent time with my family in the Philippines on Apr 2012 during R & R. I went back to Fort Riley on Aug. 2012 and was reassigned to my current unit 165th MCT , 541st Combat Sustainment Support battalion. Before the end of year 2013, my family visas were finally approved and they came to states on Dec 30 2013. After 45 days of being together again I got deployed to Romania from 15 February 2014 until present. My wife and kids were only in the states for a month before I was deployed. My wife, my two sons ages 10 and 13 and daughter 17 are staying now in Oxnard , California. Their only wish at this time is for me to give them a time for family bonding after deployment and they want it in Disneyland in Anaheim. Their wish since their childhood might come through with your support and will really appreciate it with all my heart. |

Sep 27th 2015 Hello, My name is SPC Timothy Sexton. I have just recently returned home from my first combat deployment to Afghanistan. I am married to my beautiful wife Teesha. While I was gone, 2 of my wife's many wishes included coming home safely to her, and to take her to a Cowboys game. I have fulfilled one of those wishes, and intend to fulfill the second. I wish to attend the Atlanta Falcons @ Dallas Cowboys game on September 27th, 2015. I grew up a Falcons fan, and she grew up a Cowboys fan. Fortunately they are playing each other in the state that we reside! So we are both very excited to get a chance to see them both. |

Sep 7th 2015 My name is SPC Sisk. I have a wife and 3 amazing kids that are 11,9, and 5. They are my heart and soul. I haven't got to see them much in the last 3 years due to training and deployments and would love to take them to Disney. I always wanted to go there myself when I was little but could never afford it. I think it would be some much needed bonding time after this deployment. My wish is for 5 4-day park hopper passes for Disney World. |

Jul 26th 2015 My name is SGT Christopher E Waite. I am currently on my third deployment and my second one in 3 years. Both have been to Afghanistan. The last 3 years have been hard on myself and my family due to the time that I have had to spend away from them serving our great country. With this deployment coming to an end I can not think of a better way to share an experience with them then through a generous donation from Vet Tix. I have always wanted to experience the Brick Yard 400 in Indianapolis, IN even though I live close to the track I have never had the opportunity to watch a race live and in person. I know it would be an experience of a life time, to feel the rumble of the engine of the Nascars as they scream by. Thank you for your time and consideration. |

Jul 24th 2015 My name is SSgt Kelly Goodman. My kids are HUGE Michael Jackson fans, they love his music so much, even my girls would move around in my belly when I played him around the house. My son knows all his songs. It's just a drive from us and it can be a vacation we can have that's affordable and not over the top. I missed out on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, their 5th birthday, my anniversary, New years, Valentine's, St Patrick's, and soon to be Easter. My kids haven't been apart from me this long and my kids have actually had a harder time than I thought. It's dad who is usually gone for work (he's military too). We are looking at going to Vegas July 22-26 so any show during that time would be amazing. I just want to thank these kids for their sacrifice, and have a memorable time with them since I missed out on so much, and thank my husband for taking on the task of mom and dad and shuttling them everywhere. We try to bond with our kids through things they love and have a passion for and Michael Jackson's music and talent, and the acrobatics from this show are things our kids love, to see their faces light up with joy and excitement, the freedom they have to do that, reminds me why I love my job and do what I do for them. I'm requesting 5 tickets because it's me, my husband, our 14 year old son, and our twin 5 year old daughters. Thank you for reading our wish. |

Jul 18th 2015 My name is LT. Timothy Thibault. I live near Boston Ma, and I have been on deployment for 5 months with another 4 months to go. I would like to bring my family to the event. My wife Elaine, two daughters Samantha (22) & Rebecca (16). I have been around auto racing for many years, building race cars, driving cars and even my daughter was racing when she was 9 years old. My wish is to take my family for the weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Nascar Modified Tour all star race on 7/17 & 7/18. Maybe even the Nascar Sprint cup on 7/19. Access to pit area would be awesome. I would love to throw the green flag for the race while in uniform! Have been around auto racing in New England since I was 10 years old. |

Jul 16th 2015 My name is Douglas Edds. I separated from active duty back in 2012. In September of 2011 on my last deployment I was blown up by a VBIED (truck packed with 1500 lbs of explosives) receiving the purple heart and being sent back to the united states medically. After I got out I had to start different treatments through the VA and haven't been able to truly get away and go on a vacation. So now that my health is stable we don't really have the money for a big vacation like this. So it is my wish to take my wife and two kids to Disney World for a once in a lifetime experience. |

Jul 13th 2015 I am a an Iraqi Freedom veteran(2003). All I ever wanted after a life full of stress and constant selfless service to this beautiful country was a family. God has blessed me with a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. My son, Valentino(5) and daughter, Belicia(2) are very much a fan of Disney. I would wish to give them what would be their dream vacation. As a father, I would request this for them to see a smile on their faces. That in itself is worth all the sacrifices I have made. God bless America. |

Jun 29th 2015 I am currently on my seventh deployment. I have been deployed since October 2014 and missed all the birthdays and holidays with Maria, my wife of 19 years (20 in August)and my 15 and 14 year old daughters, Ana and Tori and my 13 year old son Santiago. To be able to receive 4 three day Disneyland, CA Park Hopper passes would be a tremendous blessing and gift for my family. On 5 April 2015 I reached my 20 year anniversery in the service and it will be great to get back home and surprise them with a gift for all the support they have given me in allowing me to serve my country with honor. Thank you for reading and consideration in fulfilling this veterans wish. May God continue to bless America and those who defend and support her. |

Jun 22nd 2015 My name is Robert Fleming and I served 12 years in the Army. I was recently medically retired as a Sergeant First Class in 2014 due to injuries that I sustained in combat. I have had multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan where I received 2 purple hearts. My service, deployments, and injuries have taken its toll on my wonder wife April who I've been married to for 11 years and she even quit work and nursing school to take care of me in the hospital while we were dating after I was injured in Iraq. After my injuries and hospital stays I regrouped and toughed it out for another decade, and more deployment. While this was satisfying personally for my career it took its toll on my body and my family as I wasn't there for them and I was gone the entire first year of my oldest due to deployment. I have three wonderful boys that are 4, 3, and 2 that are great. My oldest and youngest are autistic and though it is challenging they make our world brighter and better. They love the Disney channel and any and all Disney characters. We've never got a chance to take a family while I was active due to responsibilities, deployments, training, and medical issues. It actually is a wish and it would be a blessing if my family could go to Disney world in Orlando Florida. I am requesting and wishing that my family of 5 be able to go to Disney in Orlando for 2 days. Thank you and God bless Robert |

Apr 12th 2015 Hi there, I'm SPC Jason Walker. I'm a former Marine and current Soldier in the Army. On my third deployment I stepped on a landmine that resulted in the instant amputation of my left leg and my right leg was blown apart. I fought to keep the leg and after 6 months and tons of surgeries I learned to walk again. I've been doing better but my limb salvage has been having increasing problems and on April 22nd I'll be having surgery on it again. This time it may result in the amputation of my right leg above the knee. Before I'm back down for a while I was hoping that I could take my wife and kids to Disney World in Orlando, Fl. I'm requesting 5 four day hopper tickets. My family has been my life line, and I'd love to allow them a chance to have fun and get away for a few days. They have been the reason I take each step further on my recovery. Please help me give my family a memorable vacation, thank you. |
