My name is Michael Wright. I was a Seargant the US Army and retired due to my injuries. I was wounded by an IED in Oct 2007 in Baghdad and sustained numerous injuries. I had TBI, low back injuries, internal injuries and injuries to my neck. My wish is to attend a Notre Dame Football game with my wife and two sons. It has been a dream of mine since I was little. This is the one thing other than being a father that I have dreamed of doing one day. I would sincerely appreciate it if I was ever given the opportunity to attend a Notre Dame football game.

Hello my name is Alexander A Hernandez. I am the 3rd child of a family of 4. I joined the Marine Corps so my brother would be able to have a role model in life. I went to boot camp in the summer of 2003 and after boot camp I went to S.O.I. After finishing that school I was sent to Hawaii to my first unit which was 1st battalion 3rd Marines. I will be serving with 1/3. I was sent to fight in the battle of Fallujah, Iraq and I served in Afghanistan in 2006. In the month of October 2004 I was hit by a IED on my left side outside of the town of Fallujah. The Wounds that I Received from the attack are Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, and loss of hearing and also upper neck nerve Problems. I am not going to receive TSGLI because I finish my obligations with an honorable discharge. We have a huge family of 6 that includes myself and my wife and four kids. My daughter has been asking to go see the horse fight at Medieval Times but due to having four kids and with the income I get we can't afford it. My wish is for (4)tickets because the baby's don't count. Family Status is as follows; I have the best wife(Amber)and the four best kids that any man can ask for my oldest is 10 his name is Anthony, then we have Audrey who is 5 then baby Alex who happens to be 1yr and 8 months and the new add-on to the family Angelika who is 2 weeks.

Words can't begin to describe how thankful I am to this wonderful organization and Alan, who donated our tickets. We had such a great time at Disney, I smile like I haven't in awhile. My son even told me, "Dad, I haven't seen you smile so much in a long time!" My family and I truly had a great time and we were able to reconnect again. It is what they said, Disney is magical. Again, thank you so much for the tickets!!

I want to say thanks for making our trip to Bristol possible! It was an awesome experience and was extremely rewarding for my family and I. It especially meant a lot to be able to take my father-in-law, after all he did taking care of my ladies while I was deployed to Afghanistan. THANK YOU! It really means a lot.

Hello my name is Lawrence Guerro. I was wounded in Iraq May 25th, 2007. After many surgeries and one more to go I will be able to get out and do more activities with my kids and wife. I will be cleared to board Airplanes. I would appreciate if you could help me spend at least a few days with my kids in a happy place. After I got hurt my kids were not kids anymore. They had to grow up fast because I got hurt and they had to help me deal with my situation. I just want to thank them and remind them that they are kids and also give my wonderful wife a break. I would like to thank you even if you keep us in your prayers that would be much more grateful than a trip. Thank you everyone that makes this VET TIX possible.

I am a Patrol Explosive Detector Dog handler. I'm on a 12 month tour and I plan on going on RnR for two weeks at the end of June into Early July. My favorite baseball team is the San Francisco Giants. My wish is to attend a game when the Giants host the LA Dodgers (July5-July7). I've been a fan of the Giants for years and it would be the first time that I would get to see the Giants in person. My favorite Giants players are Sergio Romo, Buster Posey, and most of all Barry Zito for his support and work with the troops!!

My name is 1SG David Rye. I've been a fan of racing since going to small tracks with my Dad as a youngster. When NASCAR was first televised in 1979, watching it with my Dad became kind of a tradition. I never got to go to a NASCAR race with my Dad, but the race on Father's day would be kind of fitting to take something there to remember him. You see, he passed away this last November while I was deployed, and I didn't make it back in time to say goodbye. I've been in the military for 20+ years and have been deployed three times since 2006, with additional training events I think I have been home a total of 8 months in the last 6 years. I have never asked for anything from the military other then to serve and protect the soldiers I have led under me. My friend told me about this program and I thought if I could get accepted I could take a few soldiers I know would appreciate it. As far as favorite drivers, Dale Jr, Tony Stewart, and Matt Kenseth I guess. My wish would be to watch a NASCAR SPRINT cup race from the Pits.

Words cannot express the experience we enjoyed with the 5-Hour Energy Folks and Clint Boywer at the Quicken Loans 400 at MIS. The Family type enviroment and the hospitality of the sponsors was so enjoyable it truly became an emotional event as we were treated so special. Tim Gattshall was instrumental from 5-Hour in making sure we had access to pit tours and garage passes, truly making it an experience to remember. My Dad was smiling that day as I got to spend Father's Day with my son at the race, something I never got to do with my Dad. Thank you VETTIX for making this happen!!!

My name is Sean Anderson. I have recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan. I will be granted leave in June. We will be taking a long trip to visit family as my wife just had a baby at the end of February. My son is finally tall enough to ride all the roller coasters at Cedar Point. Since the focus has been mostly on the baby, we would like to do something special with him while on leave. My wish is take my family to Cedar Point Amusement Park. This was also the theme park that I went to when I was a child. It will be great to share my memories with him.
