I am MSgt Christina Petruzzi and I am currently deployed on a 365 tour in Kabul, Afghanistan working with the Afghan Air Force to Train Advise and Assist. This year has been one of the hardest years of my life and I know it has been very difficult on my 2 boys Giovanni (7) and Jacob (15) While dealing with this deployment, sibling separation for the past 11 months + due to different fathers and upcoming divorce and PCS, I just need a break and time to bond again with my children together. I would like to take them on a 4 day park hopper vacation to Disneyland as we have never been there and would love the time to bond with my babies. I am due home within the next few weeks. Disneyland Vacation- 4 day hopper passes for 4

My name is AOC (AW/SW) Hector J Gonzalez my wish is for my wife (Jamie) and myself to attend a Dallas Cowboys Game on the 19th of November 2017. I have been in the United States Navy for 18 years now. I have been assigned to the USS CARL VINSON for the past 5 years. During this time we have completed a ten-month deployment, a six-month deployment and our battle group is preparing for another 6-month deployment in the beginning of the year 2018. With all the deployments and out to sea training exercises, my wife and I have found it difficult to have a weekend getaway. To top it all off, after the upcoming deployment, we will be transferring to our next duty station in the Pacific Northwest making it more difficult for us to travel to Dallas to catch a game. Most of our time is consumed with our kids and everyday life. We will be making a trip to Texas so the kids can visit their grandmother. Since my hometown of Odessa is 5 hours from Dallas, Jamie and myself will be driving to Dallas to take a tour of AT&T Stadium, since tickets to tour the stadium are not out of reach. We would really like to attend an actual game but tickets are at least $200.00 each and due to our upcoming PCS, we are unable to purchase game tickets.

Hello, I am SPC Sam Pearson, I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, this is my 2nd deployment. My first deployment was with 10th Mountain Division, conducting route clearance with combat engineers, this deployment I am with the Infantry out of Fort Bliss. My first time away from 2 of my kids, My wife and I have 3 together. Two of them were born between the first deployment and this one. As far as our children, One is currently 5 months old, and the other is nearly two. And the third has just turned 5. None of my family, including myself have ever been to Disney World, or even Florida. And we have figured it would be a dream trip upon my return. I am looking to take my family on a trip to Disney World.

I am a wounded Warrior with deployments to Iraq. I have 2 children. The dates are I was medically retired in 2013 from wounds I incurred during those deployments to include TBI, PTSD, Knee surgery, 3 shoulder surgeries, and recently a back fusion, migraines, and chronic pain daily. I am married for 18 years with two children Alan 08-30-1997 and Amanda 03-04-2017 my wife Shari 04-27-1966 and myself Alan Humphrey III 02-13-1975 will attend the Football game. I have spent most the time during 2003 to 2013 with the deployments and military necessary time away from my family. With short intervals of time at home. I feel that going to these games would involve family time to reconnect with my wife and children. Thank you in advance for this opportunity to be with my family.

I would like to thank Vettix, the Seattle Seahawks and the 13 individual donors for my Hero's Wish. I had an amazing time with my family being able to go on the field for the pre-game practice and the seats were great. The game did not go as we liked Seattle Seahawks losing but it was a great time. Thank you for making it possible for us to attend. Alan Humphrey III

Hello, my name is Sergeant David Montoya. I am a retired sergeant which I have severed in the Army and National Guard for over twenty-two years. When I was eighteen I joined the Army and was sent to Germany for three years. Since then I have done various tours of duty which some have been here in the states. I am married with two kids and two grandkids. I would love to take my son David to a world series game before I die. We have never been to a baseball game and I would love to take him. My wish is to go to a World Series game here in the United States.

My name is GySgt Justin Bond. It'll be 17 years of service come this August 2017. The toughest part about being in the military is leaving your biggest support system...my family sacrifices so much for my career. I am currently deployed in Spain and will not return until August sometime (7 months gone). We are a larger family and have not had the funds to take our children on a family vacation since getting married 8 years ago. I would love to be able to surprise our 4 kids with a trip to Disneyland to try to make up for all the missed birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. I would like to make a Hero's wish to request (5) Disneyland 3-day park hopper tickets for my family; My wife Rebecca and our 4 kids; Juni 15, Nicky 10, Jacob 4 and Elsie 2. We would love to take this trip in October 2017. Any sort of contribution will help our family greatly and we would be eternally grateful. Thank you and God Bless.

My name is Sergeant Troy Thomas. I am currently post-deployment from my second tour in Afghanistan. I am working my way into being more comfortable in crowds and social settings. I am a HUGE Formula One fan and missed most of the past few seasons due to deployments. I have not been to Austin, TX to see the new facility or a race and I would love to take my wife and experience F1, one of my favorite sports. I would like to respectfully request tickets for the practice and qualifying sessions, along with the actual race. Regardless of what I may receive, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my love of F1 and I appreciate your consideration.

What an incredible experience! My wife and I would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to COTA, as well as the following donors: David, Douglas, Michael, Dorothy, Thomas, Freddie, Mark, Alexis, and Stefan. Without their support, we would not have been able to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience. With the help of our family, we were able to fly to Austin and stay for the entire F1 weekend. The staff at COTA went out of their way to make this a memorable experience with great seats in Turn 15. We also had an opportunity to tour the grounds, do all of the Formula One experiences, and attend the Justin Timberlake concert on Saturday night. It was also incredibly helpful to have such great parking available with our race tickets! Parking allowed us to leave quickly following the race and make our return flight home on Sunday evening. Thank you again so much for this absolutely incredible experience. I never expect or demand any praise for serving my country, so this goes above and beyond. Thank you again from my wife and me for this amazing vacation. Sincerely, Sgt. Troy Thomas

I am the father of Sgt. Clinton K. Ruiz. Clint was killed in action on 10/25/2012 in Khas Uruzgan Afghanistan while serving with the United States Army in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I am a Gold Star Father and I would like to take a severely combat wounded veteran to see our favorite teams compete. Sgt. Geoffrey Quevedo lost an arm and a leg in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2012 and I lost my son that same year. Geoffrey and I have become close over the last several years. Geoffrey is a Raider fan and I, along with my son, Charger fans. Geoffrey has never seen the Raiders play in Oakland and I would like to take him to see a game before they move to Las Vegas.
