My name is SGT. Kenneth Darnell. I'm currently on my first deployment. I have a beautiful blended family and we had a wonderful new addition during my deployment. My wife Catherine is currently attending school while doing an amazing job as a stay at home mother. Catherine and I have been together for just over 2 years and have 4 kids between us: Donye 12, James 10, Arriyanna 8, and the newest addition is Cameron 4 months. On the civilian side I work at a paper mill which is a 7 day a week operation in which I get very few days off and work a lot of 12-16 hour days. Due to financial reasons I have to return to work almost immediately upon my return because I used up all of my leave when I went home for the birth of my son. I would love nothing more than being able to surprise my family with what would be our first vacation as a family together. I am requesting (5) 4-day Armed Forces Salute tickets to Disney World. God Bless everyone and thanks for allowing me tell you my story!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the time we have spent at Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida over the past week courtesy of those who were gracious enough to donate money towards our wish. We had an amazing time and are completely exhausted (a great problem to have) from 4 days at Disneyworld with 4 kids, lol. Once again a big thank you to John, William, Dale, Julie, Michelle, Rachel, Trace, and the Veteran Tickets Foundation general Hero's Wish Fund. - The Darnell Family

My name is 1SG Delarna, I have served 19 years in the Army and I am currently on my 7th deployment in Kuwait. I did 3 tours to Iraq, 2 to Afghanistan, 1 to Haiti and 1 to Kuwait. Being a Combat Engineer my job is risky. Three of my deployments were just searching for IED's & doing rock clearance. Along with myself, my family has made many sacrifices throughout the years. After returning home this summer, I would like to thank them by taking our first family vacation together. My wife & I have been married for six years and have yet to have a honeymoon. Life just seems to fly by when you're being deployed or pcsing every 2-3 years. We have a blended family with seven children(19, 16, 14, 13, 12, 7 & 2 mts) with our newest being born during this deployment. Thankfully, I was given one week leave and made it home the day before his arrival. Due to health reasons he experienced extended hospital stays, for that he has yet to meet his three older siblings. Our son doesn't even know it yet but he has brought our blended family even closer! Seeing all seven smiling faces together for the first time will be a moment to cherish a lifetime! We are a family of 9 but will need 8 tickets. We do understand that it is highly unlikely our wish will be fully granted. We're hoping at the least, we are blessed with some of the tickets to help offset the cost. Our one wish for our family is to take our first family trip to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland!!!

My name is Albert Meraz. I am currently overseas for a year long tour in Afghanistan. I have my wife and two girls (6 and 2) at home supporting me and awaiting my return in the summer next year. My wish is to take them to legoland in Florida and stay there for the weekend in July when I should be able to take post deployment leave.

Hello my name is SGT Jeremy A. Looman. I just returned from Ukraine in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve with the Army National Guard. My youngest son, Sean, was born on the first day that I deployed to Ukraine. I returned a 2 weeks ago, and could only afford to take a week off before returning back to work. I have spent over 4 years in a combat zone, most of that time on Active Duty status with the 173D ABCT. It would mean the world to me spend time with Sean, and the rest of my beautiful family. My wish is for 6 Disney World Park Hopper Passes. My wife is amazing, such a sweet person and so deserving of a vacation. Even if this wish doesn't come true, I feel blessed to have served in the United States Army and the National Guard. My beautiful family consists of 7 but only need tickets for 6 because Sean is so young. Jenny my beautiful wife, Kyra (13), Halle (11), Jeremy Jr. (5), Jace (3), and Sean (7 Mo) and myself.

My name is LCDR Hugh Wilson. In December 2017 I returned from a reserve mobilization and six month deployment to Iraq. The deployment was a rewarding experience, but was somewhat unexpected and followed 14 months of working the night shift as a warehouse manager. During the deployment, my wife (a former Army Officer and Afghanistan veteran) was pregnant with our second daughter (she was born 3 days after I returned), raising our 2 year old and working full time. She never complained once throughout my deployment and was an amazing partner to me and mother to our girls. I would like to do something special for her to show my appreciation for the outstanding support and care she provided to our daughters and I while I was deployed. I would like to request two ticket for my wife and I to attend Hamilton when the touring production comes to the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

My name is Lieutenant Junior Grade Dominic Scharret, My wife and I have been married for almost 5 years now, and I have not been able to take her on a proper honeymoon. I did not have the leave or money at the time of our wedding due to the fact I was stationed in San Diego and our wedding was in Georgia (all of my leave and money was spent on travel back to my duty station). Since our wedding, I have not had time to take her on a proper honeymoon due to deployments, OPTEMPO and the fact I was selected for Officer Candidate School (OCS). After training at OCS, I received my commission and went further into more grueling training for flight school. I have not had time to take any vacations with my wife, let alone make up for her missed honeymoon. Recently, I was selected into the HR community and now, I finally have a position where I have the time to be able to take her on the honeymoon she deserves. I would like to take her to Universal Studios Hollywood. She is obsessed with Harry Potter.

Hello, my name is SSG Phi Nguyen and I just recently returned home from my 2nd deployment and wish to take my family on a vacation to Disney World. After my 1st deployment I was unable to take them anywhere on a vacation so I would love to surprise them this time around with a trip to Disney World. Although this was only my 2nd deployment, I have missed countless birthdays, anniversaries, multiple holidays and school functions which has been really tough on my family, not just myself. I want to let my family know that I appreciate them for all their sacrifices that they have had to make while I was away. I would love to have three 4-day park hopper passes to Disney World. Thank you so much for any help in making my wish for my family dream come true. I greatly appreciate all the support.
