Past Hero's Wishes
My name is SGT Bruce Messer. I am born and raised in Ohio and have always been a Buckeyes fan. I've never in my life been to a game in person. I've always dreamed of going to a game and of course the ultimate game would be against our biggest rival. I have friends I would love to take. I'm a disabled veteran of combat and can't work. I am married with 6 children. 4 of which are still in school and two that have graduated, one that is engaged to be married. I live off of disability and SSI, and my wife works full time to make sure we have extra cash after bills. We focus all of our funds to bills and our kids so buying tickets is out of the question for me.

Thank you very much for the donations to make this possible. Though my wife was ill this day, I was able to take my father with me. It was a great day, game and memory that I will never forget.

My name is SSG Joseph Weghorst. I'm in the Army with 12 years of service, I'm on my 4th deployment, 3 to Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan. This deployment I am in Iraq and have been away for 5 months, prior to this I did one 15 month tour to Iraq, and 12 to Iraq and Afghanistan. I joined the Army when my kids were 5 and 3 and have spent all four of my deployments away from them. This year is my daughters senior year of High School and I have missed it, but should be home just in time for her graduation and would like to take her to Disney after graduation and before college. For block leave prior to this deployment I was suppose to take her to Disney, but my mother tested positive for breast cancer so we cancelled our Disney trip and visited my mother.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Me and my family can not thank everyone enough for the opportunity that was provided to us. It meant so much for all of us to spend this time together at Disney World. My daughter has wanted to go to Disney for years and for me to be able to return from Iraq and take her there on her first break from school will be a lifetime memory for our whole family. I really can't thank you enough.

I am Chief Petty Officer Christopher Fisk and have been in the Navy for 12 years. I have a beautiful family of 6. My wife Hannah and my children Heaven, Italia, Derek, and Maddox. I recently just got back from my deployment to Iraq and Kuwait. This past deployment was the hardest one to date since I deployed when my youngest son was just 3 months old. My wife had to take care of three children plus a newborn all by herself during my deployment. We just recently moved to Florida from California and the children are having a hard time making friends at their new schools and also getting adjusted. Since I have been back from deployment our family has not been able to spend quality time together due to our PCS among other things. It would mean everything to my family to be blessed with this and we would love to experience the magical moments Disney World has to offer. A trip to Disney World would be the ultimate blessing for our family as it allows us to spend quality time together and reconnect. Please consider this request as you would be making a true impact in our lives and we would be forever grateful. Thank you in advance and God bless.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Donors, Thank you so much for the donations to make our family Hero's Wish come true. My family was so surprised at the tickets they were overcome with joy. My wife and children were so excited. The first day we went to animal kingdom followed by Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. We had so much fun and trying to save some money to go back in the future. It gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my family after my deployment and pcs move. The quality time with my wife and children was priceless and I am so grateful for your kindness. Everyday we were exhausted because we walked so much that allowed us to do so many things. This time it was awesome being exhausted because it was so much fun. Thank you for caring about veterans and the troops and just know that your donation made such a wonderful impact on this family!

My name is SFC John C. Thomas. I was severely wounded in Iraq 2003 when a car bomb hit the police station where I served. Thankfully, I was able to continue to serve for another 9 years until my retirement in 2014. I find it a privilege to have been able to serve my country for over 2 decades. My hope is to watch the New England Patriots in our home state of Tennessee. The Patriots play the Tennessee Titans on Veterans' Day 2018. I have been waiting for this opportunity to share with my wife for many years. We have 2 young daughters and do not get much time just to ourselves. This would be such a pleasure for the 2 of us.

My name is Susan Jaenke, I am a Gold Star mother. My daughter HM2 Jaime S Jaenke, my daughter was KIA, 06/05/2006. Her Sea Bee group was sent out to clean up schools and hospitals. She was a Corpsman with MNCB25. She was killed in Anbar Providence on June 5th 2006. A series of Daisies went off under her HumVee killing her and the Driver. Jaime was the first female from Iowa to be killed in combat. She served both Navy and Marines. Since my daughters death we have had our vehicles repossessed and because there is no help for guardians I lost my house. Jaime had a daughter Kayla and I was gifted with raising her and if you know anything about children being raised by non parents but by Guardians you know that we lived on a shoe string. Kayla is now 21 and in college and working toward the medical field as was her Mom. She wants to work in Head traumas and brain injuries. She attends EIU. During the years after she passed, with the help of then Congressman Latham, we helped add muscle to the Sailors and Soldiers act, and changed the wording to the gratuity putting the control back into our warriors hands. The wording was changed and that change made the Warrior's wishes mandatory instead of the government wishes. My wish is to go to Disney World in Orlando, Fl.

Thank you so much for for the Disney passes. Our first day at Disney was on Jaimes Birthday. Walking around Epcot seeing the sites and thinking of Jaime made it a perfect day. Warm, sunny, perfect. The following days the fun of Disney were relaxing. Thank you so much Vet Tix. Thank you so much donors for this wonderful week. Thank you thank you from this Gold Star Mom and this Navy Viet Nam Vet!

My name is Major Ryan White. I am currently deployed and part way through what will be a long 8 month separation. I am leaving behind my beautiful wife and two kids with a promise to make up the months of memories and moments when I return. My son is a huge Disney and Star Wars fan, and my daughter is just now warming up to the idea of a six foot tall Minnie Mouse. When I return I fully intend on taking my family on a much deserved vacation to California's Disneyland. I am asking for 3 tickets to a 5 day Disneyland adventure where my family and I can relax, recovery, and recoup some missed moments together. Thank you for all of your support and God bless.

My name is Technical Sergeant Bradley Molnar. I have served in the Air Force for over 12 years and I will be returning from my 4th deployment this month. I would love to take my family to see the Michigan State Spartans play the Michigan Wolverines at Spartan stadium on October 20th 2018. I am a huge Michigan State Spartan fan and my wife loves the Michigan Wolverines. It is always fun for us on game day and it would be even more special to see them play from the stands instead of on TV. I am requesting 4 tickets to the Michigan State vs Michigan football game on October 20th, 2018.

There are truly no words to express the gratitude that my family and I feel for each and every one of you that made our dream vacation come true. The last year away was extremely difficult on my daughters and wife. This trip to Disney World was a very magical way to reconnect. We truly reconnected in a very magical way. I feel closer than ever with my family and I truly feel it was your donations and prayers that made it all come true. We spent every moment possible embracing our vacation at all of the Disney parks. My girls have never been happier. Thank you all from the Rhea family and may God truly bless all of you.
