Past Hero's Wishes
Jan 2nd 2011 My name is SGT Roland Gutierrez, and I am currently deployed in Iraq. But I will be home soon, very soon. I hope that someone can fulfill my wish to go the the final game of the NFL season; the Chiefs vs. Raiders on January 2nd. I would love to take my family to go see the Chiefs play before the football season ends. After I come back from Iraq, I will have to report the Germany and my new duty station for 3 years. So this will be my last chance to go to an NFL game for a while. Thank you for considering/donating tickets to me and my family. |

Jan 1st 2011 I am a big OU Sooners fan. I am coming home for R&R 1 January, 2011. This bowl game is a dream of mine and my wife's. I want to do something for her since she has been my rock through this deployment to Afghanistan. We never had a honeymoon and not sure if we ever will because money is tight when you are a E4; She never complains though. She always puts me first. We do not have a PX at the FOB I am on, so she always keeps the boxes coming. Even when we are broke, she always finds enough to send me necessities. I can say that we have become closer though we are 7,000 miles apart. I know the Fiest Bowl is a big dream. I would be in heaven if this came true. God bless you all for what you are doing. You make everything I do worth it. Knowing that we have people who care and support us no matter where we are, well that makes me feel good to be a soldier! Thank you and God bless America! PFC Roberts Afganistan |

Jan 1st 2011 I am a soldier who is about to deploy to Afghanistan on my second tour overseas starting January 6th and would LOVE to go to see the Fiesta Bowl on January 1st with my wife. I don't care who is playing, I am just a HUGE fan of football, from high school all the way up to the pros. I will watch any game. We just moved to the Tempe area and would think this would be the perfect way to celebrate my departure. Thank you. |

Dec 29th 2010 I am currently on active duty with the Mighty Marne Division (3rd Infantry Mech). This is my second tour to Iraq. Since enlisting my wife and I haven"t been able to attend a single Minnesota Wild hockey game. Its been since 2006. We used to attend them kind of frequently with some close friends of ours, but unfortunately, due to the operation tempo of my current duty station in Georgia, we have not been able to get together. Soon I will be home from Iraq and able to take some long awaited leave. Fortunately, my leave runs right through Christmas, and the Minnesota Wild play the San Jose Sharks on 29DEC2010. Since I promised my wife we would go home for Christmas(since I'll actually be here) I thought it would be a great idea to try and get those friends together again to go see one more Wild hockey game. Well, thanks for hearing me out.. Eitherway this goes, I really think this is a FANTASTIC thing this agency does.. Simply AMAZING! |

Dec 26th 2010 I am SSG Deborah Lawrence and I'm currently on my 2nd deployment. The 1st deployment was to Iraq in 03-04 and this time it is Afghanistan with the 1092nd Engineer Battalion. My husband & I are avid Browns fans but have never attended a NFL game in person. I will be home on leave from my deployment in December and I know there is a Browns home game in Cleveland against the Ravens on the 26th. We live in West Virginia and it wouldn't be much of a drive to get to the game. My Hero's Wish is for my husband & I to get (2) tickets to the Browns game and maybe a one night stay at a nice hotel in Cleveland. It would be a great mini-vacation and some much needed time spent together for the two of us. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my Hero's Wish! Sincerely, SSG Deborah Lawrence |

Aug 30th 2010 I am hoping to be able to attend a Cubs game with my family. It is pretty expensive to take a family to a MLB game. I have been to several and usually can only afford two tickets. I would like to be able to take my entire family to a game. We all love the Cubs and it would be awesome if we all could go at the same time. I am returning to the United States at the end of July and would like to attend a Cubs game before the kids return to school. Thank you in advance for your consideration. |

Aug 29th 2010 My husband will be coming home on R&R on Aug 18th- Sept 1. We desperately need a "date night." We didn't get to spend much quality time with one another before he left because of the move back to NJ and many sleep deprived nights up with our newborn. I would love to surprise him by staying overnight in Atlantic City for dinner and a Crosby Stills & Nash concert. I know he needs the break and you would make one very special hero happy...and wife :)! |

Aug 28th 2010 Hi my name is Jason I am currently on my second deployment and deployed to Afghanistan with the Airborne CAV stationed out of Germany. When I deployed I was told that I would not be getting mid tour leave but I recently found out I will be getting leave in early/ mid August. I am extremely excited about leave because my wife flew back state side to Illinois in April and just gave birth to my first daughter two weeks ago. She is currently staying with family along with our 10yr old son. I would love to take my recently enlarger family to Disney or Wisconsin Dells Kalahari indoor / outdoor water park resort for leave. This would not only be a wonderful surprise for our ten year old son but it would be a wonderful way for our family to re-bond without all the extra family around since we do not have our own place state side. This would also be extremely exciting for my family because we still have 2 years left to serve in Germany and it is very hard for us to come home for visits or vacations. Right now till the end of July I can get hero tickets to Disney World for $99.00 each plus tax, I would need 3 tickets. After July 31st the four day pass for 3 would be $85.00 a day per person $1020.00. Or I can get passes to Kalahari indoor / outdoor water park resort for 2 days for my whole family for $399.90 I know that this is a lot to ask for but it would mean the world to my family and me. I missed so much of of the pregnancy and my daughters birth that being able to have this time and amazing experience with my family would mean everything to us. Thanks for reading my wish. Sgt Jason Livingston |

Jul 15th 2010 I'm currently serving at an undisclosed location in the Middle East. I got engaged to my girlfriend of 3 years in February of this year. We have set a date for July 17th while I'm home on mid-tour leave. For our first date 3 years ago I took her to see the Atlanta Braves play the Milwaukee Brewers. It so happens that the same two teams are playing on the night that would be our bachelor/bachelorett party night July 15, 2010. We've made plans to go to the game for said celebration, however there are 8 people in our wedding party and getting good seats for that many people is impossible on my budget (did i mention, her parents don't approve, so I'm paying for the whole wedding.) I know its a long shot, but one of the few things that we hold on to over here are the ones we love, and following our favorite sports teams in the news. I know the Braves aren't rocking anybody's world this year, but I would still love to see them play. I know this is a long shot, but its the only shot I've got. Thanks. |

May 9th 2010 Shortly after I married my wonderful wife Amy I deployed to Iraq. Now that I am nearing my return home I would like to take her to Disney World in Orlando Florida for our Long awaited honeymoon. My wife has never been there and I think it would really be something we will always cherish and remember. The tickets are $99.00 each for 4 day passes. We are asking for 2. Thank you very much for taking the time to look over this and May God Bless you for your donation. |

May 8th 2010 Hi there. I'm PVT Kirk Downing, currently serving overseas (with the Florida National Guard) in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I don't think that answering the call of duty for the greatest country on earth makes me a hero, as I am just one of millions who have done it. But I am definitely learning how hard it is to be away from the people I love and care about. I was blessed to receive a "Rest & Relaxation" leave for next month (May) and am excited to get home to Florida and see my Family and my Girlfriend. I miss them like crazy, and it will be extremely great to get away from the stresses of life over here. There is a Tim McGraw concert at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on May 8th, and I would love to drive up from Miami and take my girlfriend or sister to the show. Tim McGraw is my favorite artist in the world, and that would pretty much "make my whole year!" To those of you reading this and the many others, thank you for all you do to support us. The amount of love in the way of gifts, greeting cards, care packages, etc. is overwhelming and awesome. We can't all thank you enough for helping to make our time away from "home" a little easier. God Bless you all. |

Apr 18th 2010 I am currently deployed in Iraq. I will be on leave from 1 Apr 10 to 21 Apr 10 and will be in FL and Las Vegas, NV. I recently found out the Academy of Country Music Awards will be taking place in Vegas during that time. I am a huge country music fan and tried to buy tickets online, but they were sold out. If there is a way I can get them through this organization. Thanks!! |

Apr 15th 2010 I know it has been my husbands dream to meet Phoenix Suns Steve Nash or Some of the Suns Players. I would love to make this possible. He is an amazing guy who not only serves our country but is also a Police Officer and serves the community. I Hope that with your help this may come true. |

Mar 30th 2010 I would like to attend a Mavericks game. I was deployed in support of OIF and was medevac'd in August of 2009 I am currently in the Warrior Transition Unit and live in Fort Worth. I had surgery after 6 months of therapy to my right knee and am pending surgery on my left knee. I am a single mother and I feel that my children have already given up so much. I feel that because Basketball is important to them that it would be wonderful to show them that I am greatful for all the support they give me during this time. I also suffer from PTSD and that sometimes could be difficult for them to comprehend. They are patient and loving, for that I am thankful. |

Feb 20th 2010 My husband Cpl. Charles Palmer was Killed In Action Iraq May 5th 2007. My 11 year old daughter has never really asked for anything since. She has asked me to try to get tickets to see Justin Beiber in concert. If there would be anyway possible, this would make one little girl so happy. He is playing at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on February 20, 2010. We are willing to travel just to attend this concert. Thank you for anything you can do to make this happen. |

Feb 6th 2010 I know that this might be impossible at the last minute but certainly worth it to see his smile if someone is able to fufill! My husband, Cpl West, who previously served from 2002-2006 at 29 Palms, CA & Camp Pendleton. Then he re-joined as Reserve in August 2009...and is now back to Active Duty. I am so proud of MY Hero and I hope everyone understands exactly what I am talking about. He will deploy to Afghanistan in March for 7 months, leaving behind myself and our 3 young boys ages 7, 4 & 2. The one thing that we wanted to do before he deployed was to return to Las Vegas where we were married and celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. While in Las Vegas our hope is to see George Strait in concert at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sat. February 6th, 2010...but any show to celebrate our anniversary would be appreciated. We have everything else set & reserved(non-refundable) and we're being joined by his sister, a Veteran of the Navy. Just when I thought we were set, I am unable to find tickets that we are able to afford..I'm blown away by the fact that the cheapest tickets I have found are $200 a each! Now I fear that the one thing that he wanted to do before his deployment is out of reach. I am not ready to give up. I hope & pray that someone out there can bring the biggest smile ever not only to his face but also to mine. My husband is a very hard worker and very dedicated to everyone else's needs. He fights hard for our family as well as our country therefore, I am fighting to bring a smile to his face. Please someone, help me in my wish for my Hero so that he holds onto that memory over there as a reminder of what he is fighting for. Thank you all so much for what you do & thanks to everyone who has served, currently serves and plans to serve in the future. |
