Past Hero's Wishes
My name is GM1 Vargas and I'm preparing to come home from my 4th deployment. I would love to give my wife and children (ages 11,8,7,3) a trip to Disney World once I get back. My wife of 9 years has been doing a great job keeping everything on track in picking up my part in the house and with the kids. The kids have been great little helpers as well. This deployment has been particularly rough on all of us and we are in need of some fun and relaxation. I've missed several important events such as their soccer games in which they were all first time players, school awards, a birthday, and our anniversary. On top of that our hopes of going to our hometown (after not being home for 3 years) have been shattered due to deployment extension. So to make up for all of the sacrifices we've all had to make, I am requesting help with (6) 3-day one park per day tickets to Disney World.

Hi my name is Spc Brandon Flanagan. I am a medically retired Army Infantryman, I was severely wounded in 2008 in my first deployment to Iraq and suffered a traumatic brain injury among other injuries in a bombing. The last 6 years have included huge highs and lows as thanks to God I survived and recovered better than anyone expected, but I still have ongoing struggles and was also left by 2 wives since my accident. But 3rd times a charm and I am glad to be married to my current wife, who has been wonderful and helpful to me, caring for me when others wouldn't and being my advocate with the VA and such. But we have a hard time sometimes. I can't work and she left her job to care for me and the kids so finances are tight. I have 2 sons ages 7 and 8 from my 1st marriage that I have joint custody of and my wife and I have a daughter age 2 together. None of us (except for my wife when she was a kid) have ever been able to afford to go on any really nice and fun trip or vacation and definitely never anything with all 5 of us together. I would love for us all to be able to go to Disney World! The boys and our little girl would have the time of their lives, they have never been to any real theme park much less Disney World so it would blow their minds! Could be good for us as a couple as well since we never were able to have a honeymoon. This trip could be a good opportunity for us all to de-stress and connect as a family. We would need 4 of the 4-day park hopper tickets. Thank you for looking and considering helping us out even if just a little! It's very appreciated!

Thank you so much to Vet Tix and the generous donors for the tickets to Disney World! We had such a great time and made a lot of great memories as a family. This was our first time getting to go on any kind of trip with my boys, Olivia's stepsons, so it was all 5 of us and was awesome watching all 3 kids have a magical time together! None of us but Olivia had ever been to FL and probably never would have been able to if it hadn't been for this! Thanks so much again!

Hi my name is MSgt Jennifer Smith. I am married to my wonderful husband, Jerry and we have four beautiful children. My children are Skylah (12), Jerry (8), Bella (4) and Christian (18 mos). I am currently serving my 4th deployment and will miss 3 of my children's birthdays, as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas, my anniversary, Easter and possibly Mother's Day. I would love to treat my children to a wonderful vacation at Walt Disney World. I dream of them everyday and a gift of 6 park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World will put so many smiles on their faces, that it will almost fill the void in my heart from missing them so much. My husband and I have wanted to take our children for a while now and can never make it a reality. My husband is also military, so we have done our fair share of separations. It has been very difficult on our children and I thank God every day that I have them in my life. I would really love to spoil them for a couple of days at the greatest place on earth.

Hi, my family and I received the generous donation of 5 Disneyworld tickets for our family vacation. Unfortunately, my husband and I are both active duty and due to mission requirements, we were unable to enjoy the trip this summer. We have rescheduled for March (the kids spring break). We are hoping that everything works out and we are able to take all 4 of our kids to the greatest place on earth. I will be sure to post pictures once I have them. Again, thank you so much. This will mean the world to them.

Our family vacation to Hershey Park was awesome! The park is huge with lots to do for kids of all ages. Between the rides, the Hershey store, and making our own personalized chocolate bars, it was easily one of the best experiences we've had as a family. We plan on going back again and appreciate the opportunity to have gone. Thank you Vet Tix! Sincerely, Kerri Ayo

Hi, my name is SSG Brian Valley. I will be home from my third deployment in less than three years at the end of May. I have missed my son’s 2nd and 3rd birthdays and would love to take him and my wife to Marvel Universe LIVE! as a late birthday present. It will have some of my sons favorite Marvel Super Heroes including Spider- Man, Iron Man, Hulk and threatening villains who come to life in an action-packed arena extravaganza that is going to be a once in a lifetime dream come true for my 3 year old son Jackson. The tickets would be $136 a piece for a total of $408 for all three of us. This would be greatly appreciated by me and my wife Amanda but most of all it would make Jackson's late birthday present one he will always remember!!! Thanks To Everyone!!!

My name is SFC Antonio Corona. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan, and am burned out with deployments. This is my second tour here since I last left here in 2011 along with previous tours in Iraq. I try to put on a smile in every deployment. My pain goes out to my loving wife Sabrina, whom I left home alone with my four boys. My boys ages Antonio III(10) Jason(8) Jake(2) and Jayden(1). Yes I left my wife with 2 toddlers, my last deplyment in 2010-11 she was pregnant with Jake, only for me to return home and then we had Jayden. So I been pretty busy, I cannot recall the last time we had an actual full family event. I should return home sometime early in 2014. I would love (6) tickets to Disney World in Orlando for all of us, but if (4)is sufficient, I could pay the rest out of pocket. Thank you for the support and God bless.

After a long time of planning, my family and I finally visited Walt Disney World. I just recently returned from Afghanistan in March 2014, a few months later a kind donor donated the Corona family Walt Disney World tickets and also visited the in-laws in Orlando. Overall it was a great get away and a vacation my boys will never forget.

Thank you Vet Tix and all the donors who made our wish possible. We truly had the best vacation ever. The trip was a great opportunity to bond as a family again and create amazing memories the kids will cherish forever. The little ones were so happy to meet Elsa and Anna from Frozen and the older girls were happy going on all the rides. The trip has brought us all a little closer and made returning home easier for us. Again, thank you Vet Tix and all the donors for what you have done for our family.

My name is SGT Yascavage, Joshua. I am currently deployed in Kuwait. I have tried to make the best out of every day. It has been a very trying last few months due to my wife Brooke, having heart issues and constantly in the hospital. We have two kids a girl Stella (4) and boy Josh Jr. (1). I missed Christmas, Thanksgiving and will be missing both their birthdays this month. My pain goes out to my loving wife, whom I left home alone with the kids away from her family, and having a hard time trying to juggle the kids and her medical appointments. I should return home sometime in May 2014. I would love (4) park hopper tickets to Disney World in Orlando for all of us. We have been trying to plan this for a while but can only afford the hotel and never the tickets. Thank you for the support and God bless.
