Past Hero's Wishes
Hi, I'm Cody. I served as a US Army artilleryman from 2007-2015. On deployment to Afghanistan my patrol was ambushed and I sustained a traumatic brain injury. Today I'm 100% VA service connected disabled. My wish is to some day have the opportunity to take my wife and our 11 year old son to Disneyland.

Hi, my name is Seth. I met Clayton early in our military service in 2005 and we instantly became close friends. In 2006, he was called up for a deployment to Iraq and I didn't hesitate to volunteer to go with him. Our job overseas was to conduct convoy security and my truck was hit by an IED early on in the deployment. Both of us have had our struggles since then but we have always had each other's backs. He is the battle buddy that every soldier deserves. He's a lifelong Chiefs fan and I'm a lifelong Falcons fan. Due to the game being a Sunday night game and being several states away, we are unable to make it happen financially. The picture I provided is from our first NFL game together in 2020, when our teams played in Kansas City. His birthday this year happens to be the day before this game and I wish for nothing more than to make it a birthday he'll never forget. I would be extremely grateful for anyone who donates to this cause. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Rebekah. I am a Hospital Corpsman Petty Officer First Class. I just got home from an 8 month deployment to Iraq and would love to be able to take my husband and our 2 daughters ages 6 and 4 to Disney World. They were all so strong while I was gone and my husband was amazing for keeping everything together. I would love to give back and thank them for their sacrifice and service to our country. This would be a wish come true for us and give us some much needed family time!

My name is Nick. I am currently on my 2nd deployment and have been away from my family for 8 months as of me writing this. I am looking to take my family to a Steelers game this fall. My family are die hard Steelers fans, however making it an NFL game has been out of our grasp. These past few years have been hard on my wife and boys as I have been away a lot. During this deployment we had a high-risk pregnancy and we were blessed with a healthy and beautiful 5lb baby girl. With all the chaos recently, I know my family would love to be able to go see the team they love at an actual game. I know it will be a memory the boys will never forget. We're hoping for 4 tickets to the Steelers/Falcons game playing in Atlanta. Thank you very much to all those who donate to this cause and make wishes like this possible for my family.

Dear generous donors, We have just returned from our trip to Disney World where we spent 7 wonderful days together. This trip was a sweet time for our family being together again after a long deployment last year. Each of our children had such a great time. Savannah, age 12, enjoyed visiting Epcot where she could explore different countries in the world. Kate, age 9, especially enjoyed meeting princess Rapunzel and trying new thrill rides. James, age 6, loved the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Mom and Dad enjoyed watching them experience the magic of Disney! We were able to unwind and reconnect as a family during the week. Thanks especially to Paula, Thomas, David, Nicholas, Kenneth, Brian, Isaiah, Jason, Jilleon and Hero's Wish. Without your generous donations this trip would not have been possible. We will always remember your kindness towards our family. The McCalls Will, Jennifer, Savannah, Kate and James

Hello my name is Darlene Long. I am a Staff Sgt in the Air Force. I am currently deployed in Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. I have been here since October 2023 and will return home May 2024. I have three amazing children and I have missed every holiday with them since October. It’s also been very hard for them knowing that I am in a war zone and have had multiple attacks. Our favorite past time is to attend NY Yankees games. My wish is for 4 tickets on the first base line. That would be a dream come true for all of us. Thank you for your support.

Hello! My name is David. I am currently on my 3rd career deployment and would like to be able to take my family to Universal Orlando for a day before we embark on our first family cruise. My daughter (7) is a huge Harry Potter fan and has talked about going to Universal since we PCSed to Ft. Stewart and are near Orlando. I should return from my deployment around May/June 2024, and we wish to go to Universal Orlando on December 15, 2024 before we leave for our cruise on the 16th. Looking at the ticket we would love a 1 day park-to-park ticket to be able to do Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, where the Harry Potter areas of the park are, as well as being able to take the Hogwarts Express. Thank you for the opportunity to enhance the family time I have and take my family on a trip.

Hi! My name is Danny. I just got back home from a deployment to Kuwait, and like many others struggled with being away from my family and missing so much of what they were doing. I have a wife and three daughters who are 15, 12 and 9. Missing things like the holidays, them starting high school, middle school and a new elementary and all of their sporting events was not easy at all. My wife did an amazing job taking care of everything while I was gone, but now I am so glad to be home and a part of everything again. We don’t ever take actual family vacations because we really only travel for sports. So this summer while we are in Orlando for futsal, I would love to take my family to Universal. I would really love to get a universal military freedom pass for each of us so we can in and out of the two parks because we won’t be able to go and spend an entire day there. This would mean so much to me to be able to surprise my wife and girls with this one our trip, so that is why I am hoping to get 5 universal military freedom passes.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our wish come true! It has been awhile since we have gone on a family vacation and got to do something other than sports. We really enjoyed being able to spend this time together at Universal, especially after me being gone for a year and missing so much. We are forever grateful!
