Past Hero's Wishes
My name is SSgt Scott Heninger. I am currently serving in the USAF and on my fourth deployment in 12 years. While this is my first 365 day deployment, the family back home has to endure all of the life challenges without me. I have two wonderful women in my life, my wife of 8 years, and our daughter who is 6. We may have one of the hardest jobs, having to leave our family behind while we are all serving our country. But that is nothing compared to what our family's have to bare while we are away. My wife is the most amazing person I know working full time as a church secretary, she still has time to take care of our daughter, two dogs and the cat. This is no easy feat due to my wife being a paraplegic, paralyzed from her chest down, all because of a drunk driver. I am planning on coming home for my mid tour sometime in Nov. My wish is to surprise my family with something we have talked about for years, but just haven't had the funds to do. 3 Disneyland 3-Day Park Hopper Tickets would not only be a dream for my wife but for my daughter as well, she is always talking about all the princes and how she would love to meet one. But the most important thing for me would be the quality time you can spend with loved ones creating those lasting memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you for considering my wish and to all who support these and other organizations that try and give back to all the brave men and women that serve this great country.

I just wanted to say a big Thank You to all that made my wish "family's wish" come true. It was an amazing adventure that we were able to make lasting memories on. All three days at the park were filled with a lot of giggles and smiles from my daughter, which made this vacation the best for my wife and myself. It is a time we will all remember for years to come. Again a big Thank You to all donors and to Vet Tix for making this all happen! Scott Heninger

My name is Staff Sergeant Jeff Baker. I've been Active in the Army serving as a Airborne Ranger for over 11 years with 9 deployments (3 to Iraq and 6 to Afghanistan). In 2012 while serving on my 9th deployment I was injured by a Vehicle Borne IED. I've had 3 surgeries and countless hours of therapy. I've been trying to recover for nearly four years and I'm currently away from my wife and two daughters for three months to attend a special rehabilitation program in Virginia to help with my physical injuries, and my traumatic brain injury. After the stress of being away the past few months, my wish is to take my family to Walt Disney World after I return home. So I am asking for 3 military Park Hopper tickets to Disney World. Thank you greatly for the opportunity and consideration.

My name is Capt. Ramon Leonguerrero. I want to take my family on a once in a lifetime vacation to Disneyland. I have missed so many birthdays and anniversaries for all 5 of our kids and this would be a great way to celebrate them all. I have only seen one of my children on their first birthday. With 5 kids it is so hard to have a family vacation. We would only need a total of 5 tickets for me, my wife, our daughter Mandi 22 in college, Emily 16, Natalie 4. We probably don't need tickets for the 2 smallest ones Rita 2 and Ramon Jr 1. Thank you for the consideration.

My name is 1LT Moses Woo. The event I'd like to attend is a Broadway showing of the musical, Hamilton. The show is about one of our founding Fathers, and his successes. He had the ability to leave St Croix, join the military, become a Statesman, and one of our Treasury Secretaries. It would be amazing to see a live biopic of the American Hero and to be able to bring my family who has supported me throughout my military career. My family has supported me through all the training, deployment, and time away from home. Most recently I did a tour to Afghanistan and my parents really took a toll in terms of worrying and being separated from me. I would just like to treat them to something nice and to show them how the sacrifices can also be rewarding. Alexander Hamilton's sacrifices also allowed him to be successful and to be one of our great Founding Fathers, and I'd like to show my family this great mans' experience. Thank you for considering my wish.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Thank you so much donors for allowing my family to take part and enjoy a broadway musical about an Army Veteran, American Patriot and Founding Father- Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton paved the way for our great nation, throughout his service. The donors here have allowed me to treat and honor my family to a night out to watch his life story. My family has stood by me and supported me from all the time away from home. Thank you again so much to all the donors who have contributed to make this happen! ( to also include Vet Tix and the Hamilton Production Management - Mr. Berney even came out and greeted me and gifted me with a Hamilton music cd!)

My name is Logistics Specialist First Class Quentin Keaton. I currently serve in the Navy, in Jacksonville Florida. From the moment we arrived I have been turning and burning. Due to my deployment schedule I have missed so much with my 7 year old, a couple of birthdays, holidays, and some first days of school. I have some much deserved leave coming up and would love to finally be able to take her to Disney World. She has never been and doesn't want to go without me, so this would mean so much to us both. My family has supported me throughout my military career and I would like to show them my appreciation. Thank you for considering my wish.

My name is Lcpl Jason Tuuri. I am a OEF/OIF combat wounded veteran. I received my purple heart from and IED blast in Marjah, Afghanistan in 2010. The blast shattered both of my heels and changed my life forever. Football is my life, and I love them Cowboys! I'm humbly asking for help in the donation for two tickets to the SNF game between the Cowboys and the Eagles. Having foot injuries, it is extremely difficult for me to stand for longer periods of time so I am looking for two comfortably seated tickets for the game. I'm wanting to surprise my brother in the event we can go to this game. He was my rock during the times where mentally I was at my lowest. I truly am blessed to have such a loving and supportive older brother and I would love to do something for him in return. Anything is appreciated and God Bless you all and God Bless America. My wish is for 2 Tickets to the Sunday Night Football game, Cowboys vs. Eagles

Hey everybody! Just wanted to write a thank you to everybody who donated towards my Hero's Wish event. It was an amazing experience and I was grinning from ear to ear the whole game. And what a game it was!!! I feel bad because I was so caught up in the moment and the game that I forgot to take any pictures!!! That stadium is a work of art and I wouldn't have been able to experience such a theater if it wasn't for you all! Thank you again! God Bless! Sincerely, Jason Tuuri

I am TSgt Jason Caceres and have served in the Air Force for over 18 years. I have a family of 5 so at times it is hard for me to afford to take my family to do fun things like this so I'm hoping this will allow me to do that for them. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 10 years now and we have 3 beautiful children. Over the last 18 years of service I have missed many birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays with my family. They have had to deal with my countless deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq and I have missed them growing up. My wife has been a trooper taking care of 3 kids while I have been away and dealing with her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. I have known of Vet Tix for a while now but recently learned of the Hero's Wish program and thought, hey it never hurts to ask right! So I would LOVE for 5 Disneyland in Anaheim CA 3-Day Park Hopper Tickets for myself, my wife, Melayna (17), Jackson (11), and Lyvea (6). As I near retirement I would love to be able to surprise them with this special trip to say thank you for the years they have had to go without me being there. Thank you to the wonderful supporters of Vet Tix and to the awesome folks who created and continue to operate this wonderful non-profit organization for the opportunity.

My name is Staff Sargent Bryan Tate. I have been serving on active duty for 12 years. I am currently deployed to Iraq on my forth tour. I have been married to the most amazing woman in the world for 11 years, and we have 2 incredible kids together Ethan (7), and Greyson (4). In the spring of 2015 my parents started planning a Disney World trip scheduled to take place end of May 2016. Unfortunately I was tasked short notice for the current deployment I am on in Iraq. Due to the timing my parents could not reschedule the trip for my return this fall. Having to break the news to our boys that not only I was leaving for a deployment, but we also had to cancel the Disney World trip they had been looking forward to all year was devastating. So my wife and I have been trying to save funds to take our boys at the end of October when I return. We are kindly asking for four park hopper tickets to Disney World, so we can take our boys on the trip that we promised them. Thank you very much for all your support.

My name is Sgt. Martin Tellez. I will be deploying mid October 18-26 time frame. My wife and I have been wanting to attend a 49ers game before I leave for 7 months. My wish is to take my wife to see our favorite team the 49ers play before I deploy. It would be our little romantic day before I leave. I love playing soccer and along the lines I have found a passion in cutting hair I am a certified barber through the Navy. I am currently taking college classes as well pursuing my degree in business administration, I attend the school American Military University (AMU) I am about halfway done, Reason for me going back to school is because I plan to go the officer route in my career. I have 3 children who ages are 3, 2 , 1. Masen my eldest son is my strong warrior, he had open heart surgery at 4 months old but if you see him now you could never tell. Mateo Is my middle child and he is the sneaky one, of them all. Maite is my youngest and only girl, luckily she has 2 princes and a king guarding her castle. My wife Martha has been my supporter through it all. We have been together for 6 years (9/5/11). We met playing soccer at an indoor soccer arena. Since we have been together and I have been in the military, it has been hard to do things just us because of the fact we are far from family and hard to find baby sitters who can take all 3 of them. It would be a wonderful experience to enjoy on my last days around.
