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.

My name is Eric Lebs. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and my wife of 17 years and our three daughters are holding down the fort while I'm away. 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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is SSG Kurt Balmer. Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna is visiting Seattle from January 31 through February 24th, my wish is to be able to take my wife to a weekend showing of Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna. I recently returned from Afghanistan and money is always tight as a Soldier. My Hero's Wish would be to make my wife's wish come true, to see Cirque du Soleil. I think taking my wife to this would be great since she has wanted to see this for as long as I can remember and would be a perfect way for us to get to know each other again after a long deployment. I am requesting for 02 February but any date would be great. If at all possible we would prefer a Friday or Saturday 8 o'clock show. Thank you for your consideration of my Hero's Wish.

I am SSG Mayes, Wyatt A. On June 24 2012 I was injured while in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I was on patrol my vehicle was struck by a 200 pound command detonated IED, As a result of the IED strike I sustained a broken right Calcaneus (heal) and I burst fractured or shattered my L-3 Vertebra. I was Medevac’d out of country and underwent surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center to have my L-1 through my L-5 vertebra fused together. Due to the nature in which my Vertebra shattered I sustained major nerve damage causing intense pain and numbness that radiates through my back and left leg, I still do not have full use of my left leg. After my spinal fusion there were still a lot of pieces of my shattered vertebra in my back, one large piece was stabbing into my spinal column causing me a lot of pain so on November 13 2012 I underwent another surgery to remove pieces of my shattered vertebra and relieve the pressure on my spinal column. The surgery helped a lot but I still have Pain every day and still do not have a lot of feeling in my left leg. I am lucky to be alive after the accident I was in and I do not want people to feel sorry for me and I am not looking for handouts, this site is a great resource and I am trying to take advantage of the benefits. I am stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii while I am recovering and my wish is to attend the Pro Bowl this year. I am requesting 4 tickets so my family can attend the game with me but I will take whatever someone is willing to give Thanks for reading my story, if you do not donate for my cause please help out one of my wounded brothers or sisters in arms.
