Past Hero's Wishes

Jul 26th, 2019

My name is PO2 Ashley Montalvo. I am just getting home from my 3rd Deployment in the past 4 years. For my 31st birthday, the Red Sox are hosting the New York Yankees and nothing would mean more to me for my birthday than to attend the game with my girlfriend in the Green Monsta! To compound the fun/rivalry action, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan and my girlfriend is a Yankees fan, always a point of contention for us, but the love of baseball and each other always wins out in the end.

Post Deployment Disney World Trip - 4-Day Park Hopper Pass

Jul 26th, 2019

Hello, my name is SGT Michael Barton! I JUST got home from a 9 month deployment in Afghanistan. I would LOVE to surprise my family with a trip to Disney World! My beautiful wife has given so much to help me and my career and did amazing while I was away. Our son is 7 and the perfect age to go to Disney and truly enjoy the magic. My son really struggled this deployment and he would absolutely love Disney World. None of us have ever been to Disney World and we actually didn't get to have a honeymoon because we had to immediately PCS and then I had to deploy. I hope to give my family a real vacation with lots of magic and wonder. I am so grateful to be home again with my family and I would love to give them this trip and make some once in a lifetime memories.

Thank You Message from the Hero:

Thank you VET TIX and all the gracious donors for helping us take our very first family vacation! Disney world was truly magical! The time spent with my family was a priceless gift! We are so grateful to have gotten to make these life long memories. Our son had an absolute blast and to see his happiness made us so happy. We rode rides, we ate so much food, we walked hand in hand through the parks, we took pictures, we tried new things, and we loved it. We got to watch the magic kingdom fireworks show from 15 stories up and it was truly magical to have my family in my arms while we watched magic happen. I am so thankful to have gotten this time with my family. It was amazing. We discovered our son LOVES Star Wars and we were able to bond over my own love of Star Wars with him. Thank you to every single person who made this happen. We are so very very grateful to you. We needed this family time together. It was truly a time for us to connect and just enjoy each others company. It was a beautiful experience and from it we feel closer than ever.

Post Deployment Disney World Trip

Jul 22nd, 2019

My name is TSgt Badri Francis and I am currently deployed outside of the US. I am a Contracting Officer for the United States Air Force and have been serving for the past seven years. During this deployment I have missed two of my kids birthdays and my anniversary with my wife. I really want to be able to do something truly special with them after I return from this deployment. This is my second deployment in as many years, with a PCS and having a house built in between the two it has not allowed for a lot of quality family time. My wish is to have 5 4-day Disney World Park Hopper tickets (for my wife, three kids, and myself) so that we can enjoy this time together before the children return to school. Thank you all in advance for helping me provide this amazing opportunity to my family.

Family Disney World Trip

Jul 15th, 2019

Hello, I'm MSgt Gregory Plumley. I just returned from my 2nd deployment to Iraq as an air traffic controller. We had a good deployment, I met some great people and learned a lot... Before I deployed my wife who is also AD was deployed to Ukraine and did not make it back before I left. We have spent quite a bit of time apart this past year. We have been married for almost 11 years and have 3 sons: Gage (8), Foster (5), and Thatcher (4). The boys did a great job holding down the fort with Honey (their Grandma) while we were gone which is why we would love to surprise them with a trip to Disney. Our wish is for a family trip to Disney World! We would love to have the opportunity for a stress free vacation to Disney World and stay at Shades of Green Resort. We would need 5 tickets as we have three boys! They are at the perfect age for us to all enjoy and remember this trip forever.

Aerosmith Deuces are Wild Las Vegas Residency

Jul 9th, 2019

My name is Lt Bernard Mutz. I have been serving proudly in the USAF for the past twelve years. I just returned from a 7 month deployment. My wife has been a huge Aerosmith fan since childhood. She has twice had tickets to this concert and both times had the tours cancelled due weather. I would love to be able to surprise her with tickets to Aerosmith at MGM in Las Vegas in June 2019. She has been the rock and constant for our family and has filled the role of mother and father flawlessly to my two children, 5 and 3. I thank you for this opportunity.

Disney World For Family (5-day park hopper passes)

Jul 2nd, 2019

Hello everyone, My name is Petty Officer Zachary Kappler and I am the loving husband to my beautiful wife Rachelle with 4 amazing kids. We are all active duty in the Coast Guard. As most of you know we miss most holidays, birthdays, and almost everything import. This year and last year I missed the holidays due to deployment. I would love to surprise them and take them all to Disney World upon my return. As most of you know Disney is quite expensive and it would be a dream come true to take them all on a five day park pass excursion. I know nothing can replace missed birthdays and holidays, but Disney comes close for kids. Anything helps and the smile upon my wife and kids faces would be priceless. Thank you for your time and kind hearts! Love the Kappler

Hamilton at the Kentucky Center in Louisville KY

Jun 8th, 2019

My name is Technical Sergeant Bradley Clott. I have served in the Air Force for over 8 years and I will be returning home soon from my 2nd deployment. I would love to take my wife Holly to see Hamilton. My wish is for 2 tickets to see Hamilton at the Kentucky Center in Louisville KY. Show runs June 4 2019 - June 23 2019. Any date would work, weekends are preferred due to child care. She is so deserving of a wonderful night out after single handedly raising our daughter, taking care of the house and caring for our beloved dog Lucky on her own these past six months. This would be a nice event after missing most of the Holidays. Thank you!.

THANK YOU so much for the tickets for my family to attend Walt Disney World! I could not afford that and it was an awesome time to reconnect with my family after being gone for a year mobilization. The girls had such an awesome time. Besides my wife, it was a first time visiting WDW for all of us. It was definitely a great time to build memories, and experience the fun of Disney. To the 4 donors; your generosity is fabulous. I could not thank you enough. Looking at the cost to buy one ticket was huge so I SOOOO appreciate the love and generosity that was showed to my family.
