My name is SSgt Mangrum I have just returned home from a 7 month deployment from Bagram Afghanistan. My wife has held down our household and navigated the COVID pandemic by herself while caring for our two children ages 2 and 4. This deployment has been extremely tough but I am grateful we made it through. The last several months have been filled with challenges and changes. As soon as I returned home we PCS’d from Louisiana to Colorado. My wish is to take a family trip to visit Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL as My wife and kids deserve this trip. I am requesting four 5-Day Park Hopper plus tickets to Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I am hoping to take them on a much needed trip this fall 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.

My name is SPC Andrew Boktor. I have been in the Army National Guard since high school and this September will make 9 years total. I was on a 15 month deployment because my return date continued to get delayed due to COVID 19. This was my first deployment and it was one of the hardest yet rewarding things to do in my life. I missed holidays, special occasions and the passing of my grandmother and uncle. It is a honor to serve our great country. However, I could not have done that without my amazing support system back home. My wife, mother, father, brother & sister-in law, all made me stronger during the deployment. My wife’s family took me on my first Disney trip 9 years ago and we all enjoyed the extraordinary time together. My father in law has recently been diagnosed with a debilitating disease called Inclusion Body Myositis. His time of being ambulatory may come to an end sooner than we all would like. I just want to be able to give back to my family as much as they have given to me. This is the first time I have been away from my wife (we went to middle school, high school, and college together) and it took a stressful toll on both of us. She is my rock. I just want to show my appreciation for my family by taking them on a trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL. I am asking for 4 day tickets for 6 members of my family. Their strength and prayers helped bring me home safe. With all the negativity going on during a pandemic and deployment, my family deserves some magic and joy. We are truly humbled and thankful to be considered for this wish fulfillment. Thank you VETTIX for all you do!

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.

Hi my name is Misael, I am a disabled army veteran. I enlisted in 2010 in the US ARMY as a medic and was attached to a infantry regiment 2-4INF 10th mountain bravo company where I deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 and was seriously wounded by a suicide bomber. I am blind in my right eye and have several herniated disk in my neck. I spent about a year at Walter Reed recovering from my wound and was later discharged on a medical retirement. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, unfortunately, I am on a fixed budget which makes it difficult to afford such trips especially with a family. I would love my kids to experience the thrill of roller coasters and see the sights that Universal has to offer.

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!

I am a SGT with the South Carolina Army National Guard. I have been in for 12 years, and I am currently in the Middle East on my 2nd deployment. Due to train up at the NTC in California and Ft. Bliss, TX I have been away from my family since June of 2019, and I should be scheduled to be home sometime in October. When not serving my country, I am serving my community. I am a Class II Officer in South Carolina and help run a shift at a County Detention Center. So, between military and law enforcement, I am almost always away from home. I have a wonderful wife (Caroline), and we have three great children (Caitlin 11, Caleb 10, and Cooper 3). My family has always sacrificed so much of themselves for me whenever duty has called, and they have done so selflessly. They allow me to go with no remorse or regrets, only love and support! They lift me up and encourage me along my path! While all the while, they continue on with their life while I am away. My wife works full time, and still manages to take care of our house and family! My two oldest children always willingly step up to assist her, and my youngest child, through the excellent examples of his older siblings, does what he can to help around the house as well! They have grown and matured so quickly and deserve to take time to be children and enjoy themselves! I would like to take my family on a 4-day trip to Universal Orlando (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure). I would like to request a total of 5, 4 day 2-park park-to-park tickets for Me, my wife, and our three children. If anyone deserves to be blessed with such a trip, it is my Wife and children, because when I serve, they serve, and they hardly ever get the recognition! So, I want to show them how much they are appreciated, and let that know that their sacrifices, and their love for me, all military and law personnel, and their country has not gone unnoticed. I am wanting to take them in late December because my daughter's birthday is on December 23rd. And I figured that this would be a great Birthday for her, as well as a great Christmas for her and the rest of my family. I know this cannot make up for any missed time but hope that it can help instill a memory of joy for them to remember for years to come.

Hello to all who are reading this. I am Justin Clement and I am due back from deployment in Spring 2020. I'm asking for 5-5 day passes to Universal Studies in Florida for my family and I when I return. I have served for 12 years, and this has been my first deployment. Back home, I have a loving wife and three beautiful children (9,7, and 6) waiting for me. My wife is the back bone of our family as she stays home to care for all of them, including our middle son who is special needs and on disability. I cannot imagine how difficult this has and will continue to be on her and the kids. I want to take them somewhere we've never been (Universal) to reward them all for staying strong and thank them for supporting me through this deployment. Thank you for your consideration and for supporting all of us service members. Thank you never feels like it's enough but all of you are appreciated!

My name is SGT Luis Montillas. I have been with the Connecticut Army National Guard for 12 years. I am presently deployed in Afghanistan and I am scheduled to return from my 3rd deployment (once Iraq, twice Afghanistan) early fall. My family, two children 9, 16, and wife have supported me throughout the 12 years of service and multiple deployments, but this deployment has been the hardest for them. My son who is 9 has been affected by it the most. It has been hard for him to video chat with me over the last year, because it makes him sad that I am away and can not do the things we normally do together. I would love to be able to take my family on a vacation to Florida and visit Universal Studios for 5 days, during the kids winter or spring break in 2021. This would mean the world to my family as they have always wanted to visit Universal Studios, and most importantly to my son who is a huge Transformer and Jurassic Park fan. Thank you VetTix for all you've done over the years, and for the donors for supporting us service members. Thank you for your consideration.

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.

I am MAJ James V. Hurst Jr. I very much would like to take my wonderful wife and super hero Mom along with our 5 very energetic children Erin 14, Lily 12, Kaylee 9, Van 7, and Xander on a much needed and well deserved vacation to Disney World. I am requesting 7, 4 day park hopper passes to Disney World, so that my family can enjoy the Disney magic and make some great long lasting memories.

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 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.

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!

Jan 15th 2020

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.

Dec 30th 2019

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!
