Past Hero's Wishes
I am SGT Murphy. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Michelle, for 5 years. We have two little boys, Jacob (4) and Elliot (2). I returned a few weeks ago from my second deployment in Afghanistan. I would love to be able to take my family on a vacation to Disney World in 2014. We've spent so much time apart that it would be nice to relax and have fun together. I am asking for 4 of the 3-day park-hopper tickets for my family. Thank you for this opportunity!

I truly appreciate having the opportunity to take this trip with my family after coming home from a second deployment in Afghanistan! For one week I was able to spend time with my wife and sons, giving them my undivided attention without the everyday stress of Army life. The best part of our vacation was watching the joy and excitement our kids' felt as the experienced everything for the first time at Disney World. Thank you VetTix for providing the Hero's Wish program and thank you to the donor that made our incredible once in a lifetime trip possible!

My name is Andy Marquez. I was injured in Iraq therefore receive disability compensation. At this time My fiance stays at home to care for our three beautiful children ages 1, 5, and 9. Our only income is my disability compensation as well as my GI Bill compensation. My children's birthdays are in December, January, and March. I would really like a day dedicated to each one and would love to make it a reality for them. My wish would be for the Southern California City Pass for two adults and two children. My youngest wouldn't need one because he is an infant. It would mean a lot if I could provide a day of happiness for each of my children. Our income is only enough to pay our rent and bills so I do not see us being able to pay for something like this but would mean a lot if someone could do this for our family. Thank you in advance.

My name is Technical Sergeant Sean A. Landolt. I will be returning from my 6 1/2 month deployment on the 10th of December. On the 13th my family and I will be flying to NY for 3 weeks. My wife and I were married about a month before and we never got to take a honeymoon. We are planning to spend a few nights in the city as a sort of mini-honeymoon. It just so happens that my mother's birthday is on Dec 28th: the same day as the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. My family are all die hard Yankees fans as well as Notre Dame fans and I just found out that Notre Dame would be playing in the game at Yankees stadium. This would be an amazing birthday gift to be able to give my mother and be an awesome end to a great trip to the city with my wife. My wish, if possible is for 8 tickets to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl game at Yankee Stadium. This would allow myslef, wife, our 2 children, my brother, his wife, their son (they are flying in from Hong Kong) and my mom, the birthday girl, to go to the game. I know 8 tickets is an awful lot to ask for. I would be greatful for whatever is possible. This is the chance of a life time for my family and with me being gone as long as I was, I would love to be able to surprise them all with this event. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

I am GySgt Vela, I am on the last half of an 8 month deployment. I deployed to Afghanistan on March 22, 2013. I then volunteered to extend and remain in the Middle East. I currently serve as the SNCOIC of MCE-K. During my deployment, I have missed many special events such as Birthday's, Mother and Father's Day, Wedding Anniversary, Holiday's etc. My family is huge San Francisco 49er fans. I would love to be able to take them to go see the 49ers vs Seahawks on Dec 8. This is also the same weekend as my birthday. I can't think of a better way to reunite with my family than to take them to see the team they love, with the man they love.

I wanted to thank vettix so much for the tickets. The game was amazing and we actually got to see the record for the longest field goal in NFL history broken by the Broncos. Thanks again we had a great time.

My name is Sgt. Joseph Albrecht. I have a daughter that will turn 6 in October 2013, she has grown into Classical and Opera music since she was a baby, just like I have. My goal is to take my daughter with me to hopefully watch Andrea Bocelli live in concert one of these days. I am separated from my daughter right now because I am stationed in 29 Palms, CA and my daughter is in Houston, TX. I think having a father and daughter time watching this concert will be a moment that will be remembered for a long time.

Hi my name is Christopher Lane. I am a Specialist in the US Army. I am currently deployed but will be home soon and just in time for football season. I am a HUGE Alabama fan. ROLL TIDE!!! I am from South Alabama and I have never been to a Alabama football game. My wish is to go to an Alabama vs Auburn game more then anything but I would settle for ANY Alabama game. I am stationed at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia and from Magnolia Springs, Alabama so a home game or one in Ga. or close by those areas would be best so I can drive. I would love to take my whole family, I miss them a ton. It will be 9 months since I have seen them. I have a beautiful wife named Carrie and two teenagers, a 19 year old son and a 14 year old daughter. None of them have ever been to a game either and they all love Alabama just as much as I do. I am hoping this can be something we can do as a family after I return home. I know 4 tickets is a lot to ask for but I was hoping maybe since it's college football someone from the school would donate them. If I can't get 4 I would at least like to take my wife with me. I don't think it would be as much fun alone. Don't get me wrong I would still love 1, I just think it's better when you have your family with you especially when you haven't seen them in almost a year. Anyway this would be so awesome and something I would never be able to afford on my own. I just can't imagine a much better ticket to request than to watch my all time favorite and best team in the world play.

Thank-you for making it possible for my family and I to attend the Iron Bowl. Even though my team didn't win, it was an amazing game and a great way to spend time with my family after just returning home from a very difficult deployment. It really was amazing! I honestly can't thank you all enough for making this possible. This is something we would of never been able to do on our own and to just be able to get away and have a fun, stress free time and not think about what's going on else where and watch my family as their eyes would light up was truly a blessing. Thank-you so much, oh and ROLL TIDE!
