Past Hero's Wishes
Hello, my name is Jason, I am a USMC infantry squad leader. I’m a huge fan of the band Tool and have been for 23 years. I have never gotten the chance to see them in concert and the tickets are too much for me to get one right now as I’m approaching bankruptcy. Cost of living and other financial hardships combined with the ridiculous cost of living in rural Washington. In 2009 I was deployed as a USMC infantry squad leader on my third deployment as part of the 2nd marine expeditionary battalion and the first boots on the ground in President Obamas 2009 surge to end the war. I was wounded in when my squad came under fire and were drawn into a complex ambush of machine guns and rpg fire. I died twice on my medevac and almost lost my arm and was put into a coma with multiple face and skull fractures and a degloving of my right and dominant arm. My wish is to attend the Tool concert at the Moda Center in Portland Oregon in October.

What a fantastic experience, and truly once in a lifetime event. 20 years in the making, it was something I’d always dreamed of doing and wouldn’t of been able to do it without your gracious donations. Not only that, but the seats were so good! I can’t thank enough you enough for making this dream come true for me and I will be forever grateful!

Hello, I am currently on my 2nd deployment in 2 years and would love to surprise my parents back home in New Jersey and set up a gathering at a New Jersey Devils game. Due to being stationed overseas and now incurring back-to-back deployments I have not been back to my hometown in almost 10 years. My wife has also been dealing with my time away and with her own struggles of being an active duty wife and I want her to be the one to help surprise them. Both my wife and I and my parents are huge hockey fans so this would be a great opportunity to get back together for something we all love as a family. Unfortunately, with travel/flight costs and increasing ticket prices, we are hoping for 4 tickets to a game later in October with the start of the new season, maybe even enjoy a dinner all together at the game too. It has been hard missing out on all the celebrations of birthdays, holidays and family gatherings that have come and gone throughout the years but this one would for sure make up for it. Thank you all for your time reading this and Thank You to Vettix and for the Vettix community.

My Name is Terry. For my 10th wedding anniversary, I promised my wife we’d go somewhere amazing. We booked flights and a cruise to Alaska. 5 days before the scheduled cruise, I received noticed I had to go to a mandatory training and then would be deployed on an extended deployment. We had to cancel our anniversary trip and I had to leave her to manage our home like a rock star with 3 kids by herself. One of our children has moderately severe autism and the other two are two years old and one year old, so it’s certainly a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. Here it is, almost a year later from our cruise cancellation and my wife discovered that two of her favorite things are happening in NYC. Josh Groban is playing in Sweeney Todd on Broadway. She loves his music and Sweeney Todd is OUR favorite musical. I’d love to be able to get away with her and take her to New York City for a few days to celebrate surviving deployment and our 10th (make that 11th) Anniversary.

We had such a great time seeing Sweeney Todd on Broadway. Truly without the generous support by Kimberly, Aislin, David, Anita and Timothy, it wouldn’t have been possible. We had great seats up and close (so my wife could fan-girl over Josh Groban) and it really helped us reconnect as a couple.

My name is Matthew. I am currently serving my 6th tour overseas in the Middle East. I am married to my loving wife and we have 3 boys ages 12, 8, and 7. After 16 years of active service I want to take the chance to put my wife and boys first and treat them to this wish to visit Disney World. Our wish is for my family to have a magical Disney World experience when I complete this deployment. We would be visiting from 9-13 October. Transportation and Lodging accommodations are covered, we are asking for help in attaining 4-day park hopper passes plus option for my family of 5. Thank you for reading and supporting this for my family.

My name is Bradley and I am in the US Army. Mina and I are currently engaged and we will be bringing 4 daughters and one son into our blended family. My children live with their mom in Kansas City MO and it’s tough most times however, my soon to be additional daughters Aria and Layla are amazing kids thanks to their mom. We have come together perfectly as a family and I couldn’t have found such a better blessing to spend my life with. My career sends me away often and even when I’m home I’m still sent away for special missions and additional training. I missed out on Layla’s birthday this year while in Iraq and she has been begging to go to the Drake concert and pleading that she won’t ask for anything for Xmas. We are more than excited for this event and I am truly grateful for getting the opportunity to deliver a memorable night with my new family. 2 years have flown by and most have been apart so this event would be perfect for capturing a moment together. I’m wishing for 4 tickets for my family to go see Drake after I return from deployment. This wish is in hopes to make my daughter’s birthday wishes come true. I’m always extremely busy and this would be a much needed and very memorable family night. We are all so grateful in advance for the consideration and look forward to great news. Thank you.

My name is Darren. My wife and I have been married for 4 years in September and during that time she has deployed twice and I have deployed once, meaning we have spent plenty of time doing long distance. We are huge baseball fans and have had the goal since we started dating back in 2016 of visiting every baseball stadium. So far we have been to 10 out of the 30 stadiums together! We are HUGE Red Sox fans and would love to attend the Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston on September 11th. With my wife and I being dual military not only would this be a great anniversary gift, but it would give us the opportunity to see our families who both live on the east coast since it is tough for both of us to request time off together. We are requesting 2 tickets to the game, preferably on the green monster but would take any seats available. We have never been able to go to a Red Sox vs Yankees game in Boston, I can only imagine the energy the stadium will have! I appreciate your time and any support towards this goal. Thank you all.

I would like to say thank you to Simonne, Richard and Shayna along with the whole Vet Tix crew to make this happen! We are so thankful to have had this opportunity and it's all thanks to you. We had a great time even after it got postponed to the next day due to weather. We saw a good game but the Sox came up a little short in the end. Again, thank you for making my wish and many others like myself come true!

I'm in the Army National Guard currently serving my 3rd tour to the Middle East. I've been in the guard for 17.5 years and I'm wishing to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World when I get home from my deployment. I've been married to my wife for 12 years and we have 3 kids. During the Covid Pandemic my wife and I found out that her niece was having issues with her living situation, we decided to adopt her to give her a better life. My wife is a very strong and caring person that has had to deal with so much over my career in the military with deployments and being away for military training. I would love to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World to show them how much I appreciated their support and how much I care about them. I would like 5 (4 Day Park Hopper) passes for myself my wife and 3 kids (19, 12 & 4). If you could help make our trip possible my family would be very grateful. Thank You

My name is Parker and I am currently deployed to Middle East. I have been in the Army for 14 years now, and previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. This is the second deployment for my wife, and first for all three of my kids. We have a five-year-old boy, and twin three-year-old's that love everything Disney. It would be a dream of theirs to visit Disney World when I return from my deployment at the end of summer. I would like to get passes to Disney World for my family of five.

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I've served in the active-duty Air Force for 8 years as a cybersecurity technician. I have been overseas for 4 of those years and TDY over 10 times. I have been married to my wonderful and supportive wife Carly going on six years. Recently I was tasked with a short-notice deployment to the Middle East immediately after returning home from a long TDY. This has caused me to be away from home and my family for all but two months of 2022. Throughout this, my wife has been so understanding and has been my anchor of sanity and support. I know this has been equally as hard on her as it has been for me, which is why I want to surprise her with a vacation to her favorite place on earth. My wife is a huge Disney fan and has been wanting to revisit Disney World for years. I would love to surprise her with 4-day park hopper tickets to Disney World in Florida. This would be our first vacation in two years and it would mean the world to catch up on some quality time with my wife that we both so desperately need! Thank you for your consideration and thank you Vettix for giving us the opportunity to share our story.
