Past Hero's Wishes
My name is Robert Fleming and I served 12 years in the Army. I was recently medically retired as a Sergeant First Class in 2014 due to injuries that I sustained in combat. I have had multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan where I received 2 purple hearts. My service, deployments, and injuries have taken its toll on my wonder wife April who I've been married to for 11 years and she even quit work and nursing school to take care of me in the hospital while we were dating after I was injured in Iraq. After my injuries and hospital stays I regrouped and toughed it out for another decade, and more deployment. While this was satisfying personally for my career it took its toll on my body and my family as I wasn't there for them and I was gone the entire first year of my oldest due to deployment. I have three wonderful boys that are 4, 3, and 2 that are great. My oldest and youngest are autistic and though it is challenging they make our world brighter and better. They love the Disney channel and any and all Disney characters. We've never got a chance to take a family while I was active due to responsibilities, deployments, training, and medical issues. It actually is a wish and it would be a blessing if my family could go to Disney world in Orlando Florida. I am requesting and wishing that my family of 5 be able to go to Disney in Orlando for 2 days. Thank you and God bless Robert

Thank You Message from the Hero:
To all the wonderful donors who gave to ensure that my family's wish truly did come true. We are truly grateful and are forever thankful. It truly means the world to spend time with family after having a career that pretty much guaranteed the opposite. Your donations ensured three boys had the best week of their life, and ensured that my wife and I finally got to take a trip that was always put off. Thank you again to Vet Tix and to the amazing donors and organizations that participate to take care of veterans and their families. God Bless v/r The Fleming Family

I just recently returned from a 5th Fleet deployment on a Naval Patrol Coastal Ship. I have been promising my little guy for a few years now that we would take him to Disney World to meet Mickey and his other favorite characters. I would love to fulfill that promise and take my wife and 5 year old son to disney in Florida while on my post deployment leave. I have 30 days until I check into my next duty station and school. My window to go would be between 25Jan-06Feb 2015.

We were floored to have received three four day park hoppers for Disney Parks in Orlando, FL. The gesture was much more than expected from our original request of one day at Disney. Michelle and Vet Tix made it possible to finally on our promise to take Connor to Disney Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. He said it best when he said "Its the greatest day of my life". I really appreciate everything that Vet Tix does for our troops and for donors like Michelle for paying forward such a fulfilling experience. Thank you so much for making my Families Summer!

My name is Daniel Acosta. My Wish is to attend a Chicago Bulls playoffs game with my family. My children are huge Chicago Bulls fans and all play in an extracurricular basketball program. They had a chance to meet some of the players at a fan event this past winter and now are completely hooked on the team. It's been a plan to attend a game together but is usually too expensive. I feel that attending a Bulls game would been an amazing experience for my children and a great opportunity to have a family bonding moment.

A special thank you to the Veteran Tickets Foundation and the generous donor of Chicago Bulls Playoff tickets! My children and I had a wonderful time and were able to witness one of the most exciting games of the 2015 playoffs. With all of us being avid Chicago Bulls fans, watching Derek Rose score the buzzer beating game winning shot is a memory that will last a lifetime. As a father, it was very special to watch my children full of excitement, cheering, laughing and happy! Thank you for all you do to support our veterans and their families.

My name is Scott Gerber. I am currently on my 5th deployment overseas and my 2nd time in Kuwait. I return in April 2015 to my wife of 14 years Leigha, my 13 year old daughter Madelyn and my 10 year old son Brayden. I would really like to take them to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL for a belated Christmas Present and would need 4 FL resident three day park to park tickets. This would be a great surprise for them when I return home and a much needed family vacation with them. Thank you so much for reading. I would be thankful for any tickets, God Bless America!

We cannot thank Vettix or Andrew enough for this experience at Disney World. When I applied, I was on a 6 month deployment to the middle east and missing my family like crazy. It was such a good reunion after all that time away, to just relax with my wife and kids - What you all do really does change lives, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Hi there, I'm SPC Jason Walker. I'm a former Marine and current Soldier in the Army. On my third deployment I stepped on a landmine that resulted in the instant amputation of my left leg and my right leg was blown apart. I fought to keep the leg and after 6 months and tons of surgeries I learned to walk again. I've been doing better but my limb salvage has been having increasing problems and on April 22nd I'll be having surgery on it again. This time it may result in the amputation of my right leg above the knee. Before I'm back down for a while I was hoping that I could take my wife and kids to Disney World in Orlando, Fl. I'm requesting 5 four day hopper tickets. My family has been my life line, and I'd love to allow them a chance to have fun and get away for a few days. They have been the reason I take each step further on my recovery. Please help me give my family a memorable vacation, thank you.

I would like to thank Vet Tix and all the donors for assisting me with making this wish come true. My wife and I really enjoyed our experience at the Spurs game last night. This was our first date we have been since I returned back from Afghanistan. Words can not express how much we value people like you all. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!!!!!

My name is 1LT Bailey, Zyralyn. Thank you Vet Tix for this wonderful opportunity to get this chance to spend quality time with my family that we have lost during my deployment. During May and June 2014 my husband and I were both sent overseas for a 9 month deployment. We have a little girl name Zoey, I would like for our family to come together again and to attend Disney on Ice: Frozen in Dallas, Texas. This would be a wonderful event to share with my family to get back what we have missed.

My name is PFC Hadley. I have a beautiful and strong wife who I love and miss very much. She is such an encouraging woman and supports my duty to our country, I couldn't ask for a better life friend. We have been apart for some time now due to training and deployment and I would love to be able to surprise her with an adventure of a lifetime. My dream wish is for 2 VIP Ultimate Safari 8 hour adventures and park admissions.

Thank you for the very memorable experience. We took a 2 week vacation to Florida and ended it with the 4 days at Disney World. My daughters really enjoyed seeing their favorite characters and we had to visit one park 3 separate days so they could do the Frozen Sing Alone event. The Park Hopper option came in very useful. Thank you Vettix.org for making this family vacation possible.
