I am graciously requesting 4-3 day park hopper tickets to Disneyland in California for my 2 daughters, my wife and myself. My Name is TSgt Russ Pollock and I have served in the US Air Force as a Civil Engineer for 17.5 years. I am currently on my 5th Deployment to the middle east and have also done 2 one year remote tours in Korea. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for a little over 16 years and she has held down the fort for every deployment and remote tour. She is my hero. I have 2 daughter, ages 6 and 3. It would bring them so much joy to be able to spend a few days at Disneyland. They to have also endured much sacrifice as i have been away overseas for over half of my 6 year olds life. It would mean the world to us if you are able to fulfill this wish. Thank You

My girlfriend also serves full-time with the Colorado Army National Guard and is a Sergeant. We would love to attend this show together!You might know him from the show Cosmos, or the internet. As close as I can get to him the better, but just being there will be incredible!

Thanks to Vettix and an awesome donor I was able to see Neil Degrasse Tyson in person, and was surprised with tickets to the meet and greet after the show as well. It was an absolute nerd-gasm and my girlfriend and I loved every minute of it. I was even able to have him sign his book for me. The host of the show Cosmos is a lot taller than he looks on the show, and even though its about science and space it was superbly funny as well. Thanks so much for making this wish come true, it was a spectacular evening.

My name is Michael Costanzo, I am severely disabled veteran. I work for a non-profit where I help my fellow veterans, even giving from my own pocket so they can eat. I have stretched myself pretty thin. I really need to take a break. I am looking to take my family on some much needed R&R. We need to reconnect as a family. I cannot remember the last time we have all gotten in the car, headed to a vacation spot and enjoyed each other. We are looking to go to Orlando, FL and visit Universal for two days. There are 6 of us.

I wanted to take a minute and Thank you. You have given me a special gift this year and there is no way I can ever repay you. This trip has allowed me to connect with my kids on a level I never thought possible. If any of you have a teenager, you know what I am talking about. I would send you pictures but we forgot to take any. The memories are still in the forefront of our minds. Again, thanks for this vacation, batteries are charged!!

My name is Master Sergeant Ryan Reed. I married my high school sweetheart Meredith at 18 and joined the United States Air Force in 1998. We have two sons, Greyson and Ashston who are 10 and 12. I've been deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and the Defense of the Arabian Gulf for the last 7 months and will re-deploy next week back to Hill AFB in Utah. After our re-integration period, we are planning to drive home and spend Christmas in Phoenix for the first time in several years. The event I was hoping to attend is the Cardinals vs Seahawks game at University of Phoenix Stadium on the 21st of December. I've been going to Cardinals games since I was 8 years old when they first moved to Phoenix in 1988, but have only been fortunate enough to attend a handful of games since joining the Air Force in 1998. In England, I woke my two young boys at 3am and literally cried while watching the Cardinals beat the Eagles to finally go to the Superbowl. Both of my sons, now 10 and 12, continue to wear their jerseys to school in spite of a fair bit of teasing from the local kids...and in my 16-year career, I have yet to meet another Cards fan who I could watch a game with, or really understood what it means to have been a fan all these years (although that did work out in my favor in 2001, when the Cardinals Cheerleaders came to visit us in Kuwait) I would love nothing more than to have an opportunity to take my incredible family to a game, and experience that amazing feeling of camaraderie that comes from being surrounded by thousands of cheering Cardinals' fans! Thank you

My name is SGT Newell, Catherine & I am currently deployed. This 9 month deployment has been mentally and physically exhausting due to living in an austere environment, experiencing multiple IED blast traumas, closing down the camp while retrograding equipment, building a new hospital in a different locations, organizing/setting up a new hospital, & lastly missing my family. I have been happily married for the the past 8.5 years. We have 3 beautiful children, Will (15), Khalil (9), and Aniya (6). We are a dual military family & we have been separated a few times, thus causing hardship on our family. I have missed my wedding anniversary, kids & husbands birthdays & summers with kids. During the duration of my deployment, my husband Kyle, has held the fort down as a single parent caring for all 3 children, while still fulfilling his active duty obligation. We have not been on a honeymoon in 7 years. I think it would be grand if I could take my family on an excursion to a Dallas Cowboys Home game. Football is a big deal in our household. It unites our family and friends. Everyone wears their football jerseys & it's game on! My husband has been a life-long Cowboys fan since he was a child. The kids are following in his foot steps. Since the new Dallas stadium was built, Kyle has always dreamed of attending a game. I would like to show a token of my appreciation by taking him to a particular game- Dallas Cowboys v. Indianapolis Colts on 21 Dec 2014. I am requesting that particular day due to me still being currently deployed & I should be redeploying during Thanksgiving. This would be a great welcome home & holiday gift. I would love to see the surprise look on my family's face. I am asking for 4 to 6 tickets due to us having a family of 5, & if possible having my husband's close friend attend as well. I would be ever so grateful for whatever amount of tickets you all could offer, even if it's just 2 tickets. I appreciate the opportunity & thank you all for even considering my application.

My name Is David C Beck I'm medical disabled veteran a wounded warrior. I'm a loving husband and a father of three children. I'm struggling with Combat PTSD. Everyday is a battle with my emotions. I stress more than I should be and feel there's no escape sometimes. I always think about the event that had to me in Afghanistan when I got blown up with an IED. I am going through some financial hardships from transitioning to the civilian world. I barely have enough to pay for my bills but I am making it. The event I'm requesting for my wish is for my family to have a Disney Christmas vacation. I always saw package deals at a Disney resort with tickets. I never stayed at a resort before I never saw a Disney Christmas Parade and I would love my family to have a special Christmas. It would bring joy to my family because I know Christmas is going to be real short this year and my daughter been doing real well in school and I would like to reward her with this trip. Also my son birthday is on DEC 23 so it's a perfect b-day gift for him. Thank you for your time reading this. I know this is a long shot but asking doesn't hurt.

I recently returned from Afghanistan and placed a Hero's Wish for the New York Giants vs Washington Redskins game at Metlife stadium. I have a mixed marriage of Giants and Redskins fans with my wife and oldest daughter being the Redskins fans and myself and youngest daughter being the Giants fans. My daughters have never been to a live professional event.This was an event they will remember for the rest of their lives. We had an excellent time and the seats were great. First level in the end zone. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the donors and to the Veteran Tickets Foundation for making this memorable event for my family and this Hero's Wish come true.
