Past Hero's Wishes
I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and will return back home in July. I would love more than anything to take my 5 yr. old daughter to Disneyland in Anaheim, CA. She has had a rough start to her life being that she was born with no kidney function and was on dialysis from birth to 1-1/2 yrs. old. She has been through numerous surgeries with her biggest one being her kidney transplant on Nov 4, 2008. I donated one of my kidneys to my little girl and she has been healthy and active ever since. It would be a wish come true to be able to take her to Disneyland with my wife and I.

My wish is to get to go see Mr. Ronnie Dunn while I am on leave from Afghanistan and be able to take my newly wedded wife on my birthday to see him before I have to return too Afghanistan. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and will be on leave between 18 July 2012 and 1 Aug 2012 and would like to be able to go to the Ronnie Dunn concert on the 28 July 2012 at EQC in Tacoma. I am en route to Washington has I speak. I have always been a fan of his and never had the chance to go to one of his or his groups concerts and would really love to meet him also.

Hello, My name is SGT Matthew Hite. My wife and I are a dual military family with a 6 year old son. We have been together for (4) years and married now for almost one year. I am headed out on my 3rd deployment in May and my wife is a huge Celine Dion fan. You could say she is my wife's idol. Due to financial hardships it hasn’t been possible for me to surprise her with tickets to see Celine in concert. My wife and I do not get a lot of time together and with this 3rd deployment approaching fast, it is a very stressful time...an emotional roller coaster. If I could have one wish granted it would be to take my wife to see Celine Dion Concert in concert at Caesar’s Las Vegas. Thank you for considering my Hero’s Wish!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I first would like to apologize for the lateness of this letter of appreciation, I have recently been moved by the Military and it was been rather stressful moving and starting a new job. Below I wrote about my experience with my wife at the stay at Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Our Celion Dion Concert, and our time in Las Vegas. We arrived at Caesars Palace in the afternoon. We were taken by the heat a little bit but totally taken in by the sights and sounds. While we were waiting to check in, there were two hosts who greeted us. We were checking in a little early so they offered to take our bags and bring them to our room when it was ready. We decided to go and eat on the property of Caesars and had by far the best food; of course we had some cocktails. The Bartender at Caesars was very friendly and just happened to be from Minnesota like us! He gave us some good tips on staying in Vegas. Shortly after our meal and drinks the Hotel called us and said our room was ready. We went to get our keys and went to our room. We walked in to our room and were BLOWN AWAY. Everything from the view to how much room there was. The bed by far was our favorite as it was like laying in the clouds. The next day was my favorite. This was the day for the Celion Dion concert. We started off our day taking in all the sights and sounds down the strip. Did a little shopping and walked through almost every casino. Later that afternoon we decided to check out the pool at Caesars Palace, again we were blown away from how elaborate it was. The attention to detail in the structure was flawless. We laid out by the pool for a couple hours and of course had some drinks and something to eat. Please note; this was by far the best pool to be at. The atmosphere, people, and casino hosts are what made it. We finished our time at the pool and went up to our room to get ready for the main attraction in Las Vegas...,Celion Dion Concert. We headed down to the will call desk for our tickets and once we had them in our hand, it was all to true. My wife was shaking because she was so nervous. We met with our host and others who were going to meet Celion Dion. Anticipation has led up to this point. Finally the moment came and we were escorted down to the meet and greet area, While waiting, a gentleman approached us introducing him to my wife and I. I did not think twice until a minute later a woman approached my wife and I, who stated the fine gentleman who just introduced himself to my wife and I was the president of Caesars. I was dumb struck and to this day wish I could take back time to simply say "Thank You" from my wife and I for them providing the opportunity of a life time. After I cleared my head, it was our turn to finally meet Celion Dion! I kept quite as this was a moment for my wife. This was my "Hero's Wish" coming true! My wife didn't •have much to say either as she was star struck I think. I did thank Celion Dion and told her how we got to meet her. After my wife turned ghost white, we were ushered up to our seats for the show. The show I cannot put into words as it was by far incredible. Not only because Celion Dion was putting on an amazing show, but the look on my wife's face was priceless. After the show we ended up at the Celion Dion gift shop where I made sure to treat my wife to whatever she wanted. She picked a DVD/CD combo which she can watch or listen to anytime. We ended the night on a nice walk down the strip. I wish I could find better words to describe my trip, but the experience we had cannot be put into enough words. Pictures don't even do justice, I would personally like to thank Veteran Tickets Foundation for taking this BIG Hero's wish on. Youfollowed through and kept in contact with me over a year. This shows how much dedication and true support you have not only for Soldiers but for the care of our families also. Your organization continues to grow and strive to support all of us service members, even our spouses and family. This just shows how passionate your company is so THANK YOU! I would also like to personally thank Caesars Palace President and everyone involved. You made my wife and I experience the best I could ever ask for. We truly were put in a dream hotel. We even donated $200 to your slot machines! It's the least we could do I guess! But seriously, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. I know with such a big organization and business, taking YOUR time and money to show your support for an Army Service Member and his wife are beyond words. Just please note, you made my "Hero's wish" come true and for that words cannot express the deep gratitude. We hope to make it back to Vegas one day and will defiantly be staying at your hotel. Thank you again to all organizations. If I could personally come shake your hand, I would. My point of contact below is below if you have any questions or need to get in contact with me. "THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS"

My name is SPC Simily, David, I deployed to southern Afghanistan in March of 2011 and returned home in March of 2012. During my deployment I received two Purple Hearts for receiving two TBI's (traumatic brain injury) and shrapnel. The first one was a dismounted patrol, when I walked up on an IED. The second one was when my lead vehicle hit a 200 pound IED. I suffer everyday due to my brain injuries. I know its not as serious as some others, but my injuries will be with me and my family forever. My wish is to attend a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game and meet the Cardinals players before a game at Busch Stadium. We are huge baseball fans and the Cardinals are my favorite team. We go to as many games as possible. It has always been a wish of mine to go on the field and meet them. The reason I'm requesting four tickets is so I can bring my wife and children to the game as well.

I am currently serving my second deployment in Afghanistan and will be coming home in a couple of weeks. My wish is to really get to experience a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley field with my wife and parents. I have been a Cubs fan since I was young and because I have been stationed in Colorado, we haven't been able to afford tickets when we visit my family there due to the high cost of them. My wife is a huge baseball fan as well and would truly enjoy the game as well as the history of Wrigley with me. Of the three years we have been married I have been away for two of them and I want take advantage of the time we will have together during this leave. Between her and my parents I have had so much support and part of this wish is to somehow show them how much I appreciate it. It would mean a lot to me and to them. We will be going to visit my family June 15th to July 5th so either the Red Sox or Astros would be fine. Preferably a weekend game as my father works during the week but I would be grateful for anything during that time period. Thank you all so much for what you do it truly makes a difference. God Bless!

Since being home I have not had a lot of opportunity to do something special with my wife and children. My youngest son's Birthday is coming up and he has always wanted to go to Disneyworld in Orlando Fl. I am unable to afford these tickets as I can not work due to my disabilities. I have family that lives down there that would let us stay with them. So, my Hero's wish is for 6 Disneyworld Park Hopper tickets to take my son and the rest of my family to the most fun place on earth. That would mean so much to my wife and I to surprise the kids with that. Anyway Thank you for this opportunity to even have a chance at this!

I am a wounded warrior and just had back surgery today. My family has sacrificed so much for me, from deployments to doctor visits, they are always there for me, I have missed so much from watching my son grow up, birthdays, holidays, anniverseries and so much more. My wish is to take my family to see Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw Brothers of the Sun tour in Nashville on June 23. It will be perfect timing with my kids' birthdays coming up and our anniversary. I could really use a good time after this major surgery :) We are a large family - my wife, myself and five kids...so to be honest, it is too expensive for me to be able to pull off something like this on just my income. I would need five tickets for my wife, myself, two older daughters and oldest son. My youngest daughter and youngest son are too young to attend.

I can not thank you enough for the tickets to see Tim McGraw & Kenny Chesney! We had a BLAST! This wish filled so many voided spots in our life - most importantly it gave us a chance to spend some quality time together as a family - much needed afte so many deployments! My wife was SUPER excited when Faith Hill got on stage to sing with her husband, Tim McGraw - extra special to us since it was the song that we first danced to at our wedding! And of course our teenage daughters were excited to see Kenny Chesney! And our son was thrilled when Matt Hasselback threw footballs into the audience!! Again - thank you so much !!!!

My name is SGT Ryan Libby. My fiance and myself are both deployed to Afghanistan. I am on my 3rd deployment and my fiance is on her first. We are getting married the beginning of June and my Hero's wish would be to take our kids to Disneyland so they have chance to equally share a childhood dream. I have two daughters, one lives with me, the other lives in Boston. Sadly I have never been offered a chance to meet her due to losing custodial rights for missing paternity court due to my 1st deployment. My fiance has custody of her 10 yr old brother and 8yr old sister. We have hotel reservations for 1 night already and would be extremely grateful if we could find a way to get the kids to Disneyland. We would need (5) one day park hopper passes. We will be driving in from WA state to California to visit my fiances family and to pick up her two siblings.

Thank you so much Vettix.org my family had the time of their life and it was great to see the kids expression when we arrived at disney land. It goes to show how appreciative members are and that we have supporters that still appreciate the sacrifices of the men and women in the military. Thank you very much for all that was done to make this dream happen for our family. Sincerely Ryan and Jackie Libby and the kids of the Libby Family
