My name is Technical Sergeant Sean A. Landolt. I will be returning from my 6 1/2 month deployment on the 10th of December. On the 13th my family and I will be flying to NY for 3 weeks. My wife and I were married about a month before and we never got to take a honeymoon. We are planning to spend a few nights in the city as a sort of mini-honeymoon. It just so happens that my mother's birthday is on Dec 28th: the same day as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. My family are all die hard Yankees fans as well as Notre Dame fans and I just found out that Notre Dame would be playing in the game at Yankees stadium. This would be an amazing birthday gift to be able to give my mother and be an awesome end to a great trip to the city with my wife. My wish, if possible is for 8 tickets to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl game at Yankee Stadium. This would allow myslef, wife, our 2 children, my brother, his wife, their son (they are flying in from Hong Kong) and my mom, the birthday girl, to go to the game. I know 8 tickets is an awful lot to ask for. I would be greatful for whatever is possible. This is the chance of a life time for my family and with me being gone as long as I was, I would love to be able to surprise them all with this event. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

Hello All! My name is SSG. Matthew Kockx. First off I'd like to say thank you to everyone who makes this possible.

I am a single father and this is something that would never be financially possible for me to do.Please help me and grant me this wish, it would make for some much needed father-son bonding time.

Dec 8th 2013

I am GySgt Vela, I am on the last half of an 8 month deployment. I deployed to Afghanistan on March 22, 2013. I then volunteered to extend and remain in the Middle East. I currently serve as the SNCOIC of MCE-K. During my deployment, I have missed many special events such as Birthday's, Mother and Father's Day, Wedding Anniversary, Holiday's etc. My family is huge San Francisco 49er fans. I would love to be able to take them to go see the 49ers vs Seahawks on Dec 8. This is also the same weekend as my birthday. I can't think of a better way to reunite with my family than to take them to see the team they love, with the man they love.

Dec 8th 2013

I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and will be returning home around the end of November. I have been away from my family since April 2013. My wife is Armenda Kontogianis we have been married for 7 years, My daughter is Abby and is 9 years old and my son is Phillip and is 2 years old. We will be moving to Virginia and away from our precious Broncos before next season startsI would love to take my family to the Broncos vs Titans game on December 8th, 2013.

My name is Sgt. Joseph Albrecht. I have a daughter that will turn 6 in October 2013, she has grown into Classical and Opera music since she was a baby, just like I have. My goal is to take my daughter with me to hopefully watch Andrea Bocelli live in concert one of these days. I am separated from my daughter right now because I am stationed in 29 Palms, CA and my daughter is in Houston, TX. I think having a father and daughter time watching this concert will be a moment that will be remembered for a long time.

Hi my name is Christopher Lane. I am a Specialist in the US Army. I am currently deployed but will be home soon and just in time for football season. I am a HUGE Alabama fan. ROLL TIDE!!! I am from South Alabama and I have never been to a Alabama football game. My wish is to go to an Alabama vs Auburn game more then anything but I would settle for ANY Alabama game. I am stationed at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia and from Magnolia Springs, Alabama so a home game or one in Ga. or close by those areas would be best so I can drive. I would love to take my whole family, I miss them a ton. It will be 9 months since I have seen them. I have a beautiful wife named Carrie and two teenagers, a 19 year old son and a 14 year old daughter. None of them have ever been to a game either and they all love Alabama just as much as I do. I am hoping this can be something we can do as a family after I return home. I know 4 tickets is a lot to ask for but I was hoping maybe since it's college football someone from the school would donate them. If I can't get 4 I would at least like to take my wife with me. I don't think it would be as much fun alone. Don't get me wrong I would still love 1, I just think it's better when you have your family with you especially when you haven't seen them in almost a year. Anyway this would be so awesome and something I would never be able to afford on my own. I just can't imagine a much better ticket to request than to watch my all time favorite and best team in the world play.

My wife and I are both active duty and we've missed many birthdays, holidays and special moments. This deployment has been really hard on my children. I've missed my oldest daughter's 10th birthday, my youngest daughter's birthday and her first day of kindergarten and last, my little boy started walking. I would like to take my mother-in-law as well as she has been a rock and helped so much when both of us are TDY or deployed and has been priceless. My wife and I've missed so much over the years and I really want to take my family to Disneyland. I just want to give my children a vacation and see the biggest smiles on their faces. I think this would be a dream come true for all of us. Thank you for all the wishes you have answered and the support you provide us. This trip is planned for when I come home from deployment. I would like 3 Adult and 3 child 4-day Park Hopper Disneyland tickets for: My spouse, myself, mother-in-law, daughter (10 years old) daughter (6 years old) son (16 months). Dates: 14 -18 Oct 13.

I have never attended a NASCAR race before and would enjoy doing this with my family when I return from deployment. My wish is to be able to attend the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 NASCAR race in Fort Worth Texas. It would be great to get tickets to this race for all 5 of my immediate family. However if it works out for only 2 then just my wife & I can attend.

I am a Disabled Veteran from the war in Iraq and I have always wanted to attend the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville with Georgia Bulldogs who is my favorite college team play the Florida Gators before I die but since my injuries I cannot afford the tickets due to the fact that all the funds I receive from the VA have to be used on our bills and to take care of my wife and 7 children so if possible please help me fulfill this dream please for me and my wife and 2 other family members to help my wife due to my disabilities. Thanks in advance and may GOD bless you for what you do.

Hello, My name is Howard Bell. I am a Lieutenant Commander and have been in the US Navy for 25+ years. I am currently serving a one year tour in Bahrain in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. My wish is to attend a Baltimore Ravens Football game with my wife and two sons. We are huge Ravens fans, while deployed I was able to watch the Superbowl and with the time difference of +8 hours the game came on at 2am, but watching my team win the Superbowl was well worth losing a little sleep. I will be back in the States after October 9th. I appreciate all who support our military. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello my name is Lawrence Guerro. I was wounded in Iraq May 25th, 2007. After many surgeries and one more to go I will be able to get out and do more activities with my kids and wife. I will be cleared to board Airplanes. I would appreciate if you could help me spend at least a few days with my kids in a happy place. After I got hurt my kids were not kids anymore. They had to grow up fast because I got hurt and they had to help me deal with my situation. I just want to thank them and remind them that they are kids and also give my wonderful wife a break. I would like to thank you even if you keep us in your prayers that would be much more grateful than a trip. Thank you everyone that makes this VET TIX possible.

My name is Sgt. Isaac Vasquez of the US Army. I have a fiance, and my mom and brothers live in California. I'm currently deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). I am a Patrol Explosive Detector Dog handler. I'm on a 12 month tour and I plan on going on RnR for two weeks at the end of June into Early July. My favorite baseball team is the San Francisco Giants. My wish is to attend a game when the Giants host the LA Dodgers (July5-July7). I've been a fan of the Giants for years and it would be the first time that I would get to see the Giants in person. My favorite Giants players are Sergio Romo, Buster Posey, and most of all Barry Zito for his support and work with the troops!!

My name is 1SG David Rye. I've been a fan of racing since going to small tracks with my Dad as a youngster. When NASCAR was first televised in 1979, watching it with my Dad became kind of a tradition. I never got to go to a NASCAR race with my Dad, but the race on Father's day would be kind of fitting to take something there to remember him. You see, he passed away this last November while I was deployed, and I didn't make it back in time to say goodbye. I've been in the military for 20+ years and have been deployed three times since 2006, with additional training events I think I have been home a total of 8 months in the last 6 years. I have never asked for anything from the military other then to serve and protect the soldiers I have led under me. My friend told me about this program and I thought if I could get accepted I could take a few soldiers I know would appreciate it. As far as favorite drivers, Dale Jr, Tony Stewart, and Matt Kenseth I guess. My wish would be to watch a NASCAR SPRINT cup race from the Pits.

Jun 15th 2013

My name is Sean Anderson. I have recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan. I will be granted leave in June. We will be taking a long trip to visit family as my wife just had a baby at the end of February. My son is finally tall enough to ride all the roller coasters at Cedar Point. Since the focus has been mostly on the baby, we would like to do something special with him while on leave. My wish is take my family to Cedar Point Amusement Park. This was also the theme park that I went to when I was a child. It will be great to share my memories with him.

Jun 1st 2013

My name is Sgt. Jorge Segura. My wish is to take my wife, caregiver, to see George strait on June 1, 2013. I would need 2 tickets for the concert. My injuries consist of multiple traumatic brain injuries, right forearm blown off, reconstruction of right forearm. Limb salvage, multiple shrapnel wounds to upper left chest, and lower back. Removed part of my right thigh to save my forearm. My family is my greatest support I could ever have. My Wife, Stefani, my daughters, Samantha(5)and Olivia(2). My oldest daughter suffers from PTSD as do I from being and seeing such traumatic events. I left when she was three, and my wife was pregnant with my youngest child. It would be very amazing to give this gift to my wife for everything she has done for me, ever since my injury.

May 28th 2013

My name is Ryan Timms. My wish is to take my wife, and if possible,my son and my sister to see Taylor Swift Live, with seats as close as possible. I have served in the Army for 4 years. I was recently deployed to Afghanistan for 12 months with the 11th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade (Fort Huachuca, AZ), while my wife, Holly, stayed home alone to work and care for our pets. We both are big music fans, she being a huge country fan, especially Taylor Swift. It would be amazing to take her to this concert since this summer we will relocate so I can attend the Defense Language Institute and don't foresee much opportunity to do extra fun things while in school the next 2 years. It would be a really fun and exciting time for both of us, and our family, if were able to go. We are hoping to get tickets to Taylor Swift's RED Tour in Glendale, AZ (May 28 or May 29), and seats as close as possible would be really cool too.
