Past Hero's Wishes
My name is 1SG Brian R. White. My wish is for tickets to the 28 OCT 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville, VA. I'd love to take my twin sons to their first race. They have passed the test of watching a full race on TV now they are ready for the next step. This would be our first Father-Son event (with the help of my brother) that we have had the opportunity to go on. I am returning from a 3rd tour to Afghanistan at the end of September and have missed most of this years races. I have been deployed for the last year, once again, and have completely missed their kindergarten year of school as well as the start of the 1st grade year. This is the 3rd year long deployment since their birth and I have missed half of their lives due to serving my country in harm's way. I feel fortunate to have been on multiple deployments without being injured in any way. There are thousands of Americans that weren't so fortunate that I take the time to Pray for their families' well-being. I have missed several family birthdays, funerals and anniversaries. The latest event being the death of my father-in-law. Not to mention those cute school events that you only get to see once in a lifetime. Although sad, thousands of my fellow service members have fallen in the same category. I hope that your organization will fulfill this wish and allow my sons and I to make memories with you at Martinsville.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Vettix! Thank you for granting my wish. This program is awesome and a true testiment to the kindness that this country has in its heart. My sons and I had an awesome time at their first Nascar event. The seats were great and being at Martinsville for the first time was a great experience. I appreciate this program so much that half of my annual contribution to the Combined Federal Campaign will go to this organization. When I hear "thank you for what you do," I can't honestly think of the proper words as a response. The feeling that these words generate can somehow be shared by Vettix as they continue to grant wishes for deserving veterans that serve to keep America safe at home. Thank you for this opportunity. 1SG Brian R. White

My name is SGT. Victor Bueno. My wish is to attend the Thursday night football game in San Francisco, CA where the 49ers play the Seattle Seahawks. I would like to take my little brother and his coach because they were actually the one's who got me thru my last deployment in Afghanistan and were always there for me. My brother's coach is a long time friend of mine and is a fan of the Seahawks, that's why I want to take them. And I also picked a Thursday night game because not many people would go, so easier on your organization to get I hope.

I was injured in Iraq July 2004 I lost the use of my hand by a IED. When I was in Iraq I promised myself I would attend my favorite group of all time, which is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They had a huge impact to me in my tour in Iraq and with my recovery. Due to recent changes in my health I am now getting amputated in 2 to 3 months I would like to go see them before I go into surgery. My Hero's wish is that I would like to attend any Chili Peppers concert in Texas area.

I want to Thank everyone who had an influence on granting my Hero's Wish. The concert was great and there isnt enough words to right down, how much this concert meant to me. I also want to thank the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their staff for allowing me to hangout backstage with them.

My name is David Horton and my wish is to take my family to DisneyWorld when I return home from my deployment. I would need (6) 3 day park hopper passes for me, my wife, my sister-in-law, and my 3 kids. We have 3 special needs kids, Brenden who is 16 with Early Onset Psoriasis, Asperger's Syndrome, Bipolar, and ADHD, Alayna who is 13 with Bipolar with psychotic features, possible schizoaffective, and ADHD and Andrew who is 12 with Chiari I Malformation, ADHD, Bipolar, and ODD. We want to bring my sister-in-law to help with the kids so if one is having an issue (ie psychotic break, migraine from the sun, meltdown etc) the others can still enjoy themselves. The date is an approximate date, as I am not sure of exactly when my leave will be, but it should be around that time.

My name is Sergeant First Class Travis Evans. I have a family of five with three children from age 13 to 17. I found out I was deploying and I departed three weeks later. I was deployed their whole summer and they have no clue that I will be home at the end of September. My wish is to take my family to a Phoenix Mercury game. I think this will be a great suprise for them upon my return.

Thank you Vet Tix and the Phoenix Mercury for showing me and my family a great time by granting my Hero's Wish. I requested five tickets to the game and we were not only given floor seat tickets and suite parking. We were also provided with all our meals and drinks. During one of the time outs they put my entire family on the megatron to show their support and at the end of the game we were able to get autographs from the entire team. Thanks for an awesome family experence!

I am a Big Houston Texans fan and my wish is to take my wife, daughter and father-in-law to the Texans v. Broncos game on September 23rd. I have never been to a football game.

Hi, I'm a proud husband and father to 5 great kids (4 girls and a boy..I know I know) who take turns driving my wife crazy and helping to keep her sane while I'm deployed. I grew up near Wrigley Field, and I have great memories of walking to the park, listening to the band play outside, smelling the hot dogs and beer, and listening to the crowd. I was outside the stadium for the first night game (8/8/1988), at least until it rained and changed the official night game until the following night. Due to our military committments over the past 18 years, I've been unable to take the kids to a game. My son was born on 8/8/2008, and I was sure that was an omen that the Cubs were going to win the World Series! That didn't happen, but I'd love to take my son (and the rest of the family of course) to their first Cubs game when I return from deployment, and that will be the year when the Cubbies finally win the World Series!

My family and I just wanted to say thank you to both the Veteran Tickets Foundation, Chicago Cubs organization, and all private donors for an AWESOME experience at Wrigley Field! I couldn't believe the incredible seats provided to us, right behind home plate! My kids experienced their first Chicago-style hot dog, enjoyed the Wrigley Field experience, and have solidified their place as future Cubbie fans! I can't thank you enough for making this wish come true. Thank you and God Bless! Steve Warren

My wife and I have not been home to New York since I came back in the military in 2007. I'm currently on my 3rd deployment since then and I know it's been hard on her. After this deployment I wanted to give her a great vacation back home to see our families. Neither one of our parents have ever met my 2yr old son. Unfortunately the flight from El Paso, TX to NY is around $2000. This leaves little money to really go to many events or attractions while we're home. My wife and I are huge NY Yankees fans. They have a program called the Yankees Inside Experience. They only do this a few times during the season and one happens to be going on during the time frame I'm home during one of the most exciting games of the year, when the Yankees play the Redsox. With this experience, you get to take pictures with the championship trophy and meet players, plus the game. The tickets for this are $700 per person. This would also be my son's first baseball game and wanted it to be very special. If I would be able to give this experience to my family it would mean the world . My family has been through many tough times with all these deployments and would love to be able to give this to them. Thank You and God Bless
