Past Hero's Wishes
My name is Sgt Thomas Jeremy Adams. I have served 2 deployments to OEF. My wish is to be able to attend a Texas Rangers game with my family. I would need 4 tickets to the game. I would like to meet Josh Hamilton and be able to shake his hand and let him know how his book helped me overcome my injuries suffered in Afghanistan. I would like to be able to throw out the first pitch at the game if at all possible.

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

My name is SSG Patrick Hughes with the Tennessee Army National Guard currently serving on my second deployment in 3 years. I have 3 little boys ages 4, and twins who are 2. I have missed so much time with them over the past 3 years and my Hero's wish is that I would love to take them to Disney World when I return from this deployment. To be able to spend 4-5 days seeing their little faces light up when they see Donald, Goofy, and of course Mickey Mouse would truly be a blessing. I would need 5 tickets for my wife, myself, and my 3 little boys. Thank you all so much for everything you do for us and God Bless.

Thank you so much for making my family's dream come true. Your generous donation allowed me to give my kids the vacation of a lifetime. To see their faces light up when they saw Mickey Mouse is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life. Again, thank you for the kindness and generosity you have shown to my family. God bless.

My name is SFC Nicole Durbin and I left my family on April 11th of 2011. Our adventure begins when the Army PCS’d me from WI to MI, before the move we could say we were given the short end of the stick leaving us with little money and a lot of pain in our family. Once we got to MI, hoping for a better life and ready to start fresh, I was informed the unit was deploying, a bit of a shock since we moved to MI in Nov and the unit was deploying in Apr. We decided it would be good way to save money and take the family on a Disney trip since we had gone through as much as a family could handle. Shortly after my departure my husband informed me the house we currently live in needed $2500 worth of electrical and plumbing and if it wasn’t taken care of they would have to be removed from the home, about a month later our transmission in our car seized up costing us $3000. Recently on my R&R when my husband picked me up from the airport, heading home we were in an accident, a part from a semi truck flew off and smashed into the front of our vehicle. Besides starting the R&R off badly, my children were beyond surprised to see me it was the best Christmas gift a mother could ask for. For the past 9 months I've watched my babies grow up from Skype, little videos and pictures, my husband has done a phenomenal job with the boys since roles have been reversed in life. This deployment has been really hard on my youngest son not understanding why mommy is gone for so long, my oldest just keeps telling me he wants me to come home. When I returned from R&R I was informed our house is so outdated that there is no insulation in the house and it needs to be done as soon as possible to keep the house warm for the kids and pipes freezing. I really want to take my family to Disney World despite all the mishaps in the past 9 months, I just want to give my children a vacation and see the biggest smiles on their faces. I think this would be a dream come true; Regardless if you answer my wish or not thank you for all the wishes you have answered and the support you provide us. This trip is planned for when I come home from deployment. I would need 3 Adult and 1 child 4 day Park Hopper Disney World Orlando tickets for: My spouse, myself, son (11 years old) and son (5 years old) We would arrive on 20 May thru 25 May 2012. Thank you so very much if you answer our wish.

I am currently in Afgahnistan and scheduled for block leave in May 2012. My wife and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary January 16th 2012 and again for the 4th time I was not there. When we were married we were not in a typical wedding and I never proposed in the conventional dream way. My Hero's wish is to take my son (1yr), daughter (5 yr), and wife to Disney World in Orlando Florida in May and somehow arrange a public vow renewal where I can wear my Dress uniform and get on one knee for my much deserving wife. She has supported me through every moment of our life and my career with minimal complaint. I would love to show her that she and my Family are what keeps me focused and able to maintain my resiliancy through deployments and my Army career. Additionaly this would grant the wish of my daughter which asks if I will take her to Disney and get her cotton candy. There is no date but if this dream is possible I am sure I can get the date arranged to work together for this. Thank you again for all you do as sponsors and supporting Soldiers.

Thank you for every Donation recieved and the support that everyone has given. This wish was a truly amazing memory for my family and I. We recieved the tickets for Disney right before my return from Afghanistan and then Disney went above and beyong by granting my wish to renew my vows to my wife in the rose garden in Dress Blues. We also had a princess breakfast in the castle for my wife and daughter. Needless to say this was very amazing and we are so greatful to everyone. Thank you very much.

My Hero's wish is to enjoy a full Nascar weekend with pit passes and if possible, meet Dale Jr. Don't really care which race or where. I am currently in Afghanistan on deployment with the 45th IBCT, 1/179 INF BN, E Co 700 BSB as a part of the Recovery/Maintenance Team. We have suffered many losses here. While here many of us where able to watch a few of the races. Many of us ordered cars and trucks and started a RC race schedule with qualifying and points. Of course, I put the "88" and a few logos on the side of my truck. Sent pictures to JR Motorsports. They thought it was cool. I didn't get to make all the races due to missions but, when I did, it was a good way to get away from the elements. What a way to get back into the swing of things after I get home. I am not real sure when that will be yet. Should be before the race at Texas. My request would be at a track that I have not been to yet. Maybe Kansas Speedway? Like I said earlier, any track is good with me.

My name is SMSgt Don Russo I will be returning in February or March 2012. Over the past 2 years, I relocated my family from Europe back to the US; got them settled in our new duty station; then went on several temporary duty assignments for about a year. I have not spent a lot of quality time with them and a vacation is well overdue. Needless to say, I've missed lots of birthdays and holidays and I want to make it up to my wonderful wife and my beautiful children. I hope to take my kids to Disneyland and my wife to Manhattan and Venice beaches and other attractions around LA and San Diego. My Hero's wish is that I would like to take my wife and 3 kids to Disneyland in the spring of 2012. I would greatly appreciate tickets to Disneyland. I'll need 5 tickets because I have 3 kids ages 8,3,and 2 plus my wife and I.

This Hero has not yet filled out a thank you message.
I got married in May this year and found out two days later that I was deploying for a year to Afghanistan. My husband has 2 daughters and it has been hard for me to get closer to them since deploying. They are 9 and 3 and my Hero's wish is that I would love to surprise them with a disneyland trip when I am home on R&R leave to bring our family closer than ever. I will be home on R&R in February and we will have the girls the 3rd weekend in February.
