Past Hero's Wishes
I am a single mother of two young girls ages 11 and 12. After a 5 year custody battle I won primary custody of my girls. I missed out on a lot of their lives and have never done things with them that most parents have with their children. We are all San Antonio Spurs Fans and although I have been to a game before in the past, I have never been able to attend a game with my daughters. All the games I have been to have been "nose bleed" section games! :( I would love to get some GREAT tickets, maybe floor tickets for myself and my two daughters to any Spurs game. I am about to deploy again for my third time in Mid April and would love to just enjoy a great game with my daughters and make a memory that I can carry throughout this deployment!

Thank you VetTix, today my daughters got to experience their first NBA game with me. This is a memory that they will carry as I prepare to leave for my 3rd deployment within the next couple of weeks. I am thankful that you were able to fulfill my request!! It means a lot to me and to my daughters!! Great game, ended the Spurs losing streak!! Many many many thanks for everything that you do for us who do or have served. It means more than you will ever know!! ~ SPC Rivera; Fort Hood, Texas!

I have lived in Colorado for two years and I have turned into a hockey fan. I have never been to a game. My girlfriend's family offered me a ticket last season, but the fact that I had to go to the National Training Center to get ready for deployment caused me to miss the game. I will get back from Afghanistan some time in March and I would like to take my girlfriend and her family to see the Colorado Avalanche play the Calgary Flames in Denver. Both she and her parents are HUGE Avalanche fans. I am going to ask her to marry me as soon as I get home, and this particular weekend will be the first time I am around her parents after the engagement. It would be great to be able to spend time with them while enjoying something they are so passionate about. Thanks!!

I am 1LT Josh Dodson. I am from West Virginia. I attended West Virginia University where I recieved my commission after 6 years of enlisted service. I have been in the Army for 8 years now, and have multiple deployments. I love my job and what I do for America. My family has backed me up 100% of all my deployments. I have always watched and followed all UFC fights. Spending a year on deployment here in Afghanistan I was not able to watch any. It has always been a dream of mine to watch a fight live. It has been an extremely long year on me and my family. I would really enjoy watching a fight live. Thanks-

My name is Eddie Jarrett and I am coming back from Afghanistan in late February and this would be a great opportunity for me to unwind and enjoy some time with my best friend! I have a 1 year old boy and 2 year old girl and I really look forward to getting home to them! I have events planned for them. My best friend and I have been wanting to attend an actual UFC event for 3 years now! My wish is for floor level tickets to UFC 128 on March 19, 2011, but any seat in the house would be great! Ticket prices range from $300-$500 per event and Newark, NJ is close enough to my hometown and there is a 'Shogun' Rua vs Rashad Evans match already lined up for this event! We are huge UFC fans and have never attended an event. This would be the weekend to remember forever! I have been on 2 deployments already and this gift would be so amazing if you can make it happen! This would be the perfect opportunity!! Thank you for this opportunity!

Eddie and Vet Tix, below are a couple pics from last night. The bottom pic is me, Josh Dodson, and Josh Poling. The top is Kevin, Josh Dodson, Luke, and me. Thanks so much for the chance to go to UFC 128!! We sat on row 15 and had great seats!! You guys worked hard to get us the tickets and we are so grateful. We not only saw 11 great... fights including the light heavyweight championship, but also met Chuck Liddell, Rashad Evans, and sat with a couple guys from "American Chopper". We had such a great time and this was a great way for us to celebrate getting home from AfghanistanSee More

My wife has always wanted to go to graceland and we have never had a chance to make it down there. I would like to take my wife there for our anniversary when I return from my year long deployment to afghanistan. The package I would like to do for her is the "Memphis Music Experience" which includes Enjoy two nights at Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, lunch for two at the Hard Rock Café on Beale Street, and tickets for two to great Memphis music attractions with prices starting from $378.00 plus tax weekdays, $388.00 + tax on weekends and $424.00 + tax during the summer months. If that isn't possible just being able to take my wife there would be great. Thanks for your help.

I will be returning from Iraq in the month of February and would love to be able to take my children to the Dallas Mavericks v Los Angeles Lakers game in Dallas. I feel like this will enable me to re-establish my place as head of my household. The reason that I serve is to be able to keep my children safe and free as they are by being a citizen of the USA. Many take for granted the options that we have being born as Americans-however my children are certainly aware of the huge sacrifice that is being made for their well being. We deployed out of Fort Hood right after the shooting took place, and having experienced that first hand was something that I vowed if I could help it my children wouldn't have to experience. The tickets to this game would be so greatly appreciated by us all. Unfortunately as a divorced single mom it can be difficult to make something as simple as getting tickets to a game easy to do. The game is on a Friday night in Dallas, Texas-I am able to make the drive and make sleeping arrangements however to gain access to those tickets may not be available to me due to this deployment that I am on. Of course I cannot say exactly when I am returning back to Texas-however I will be back in the Month of February. If you require anything else of me please let me know

AWESOME!! Thank you to all that helped out with the tickets. Especially Eddie--Eternally grateful for having the opportunity to take my kids to the game. It just so happened that the Mavericks were giving out Baseball caps for that particular game-and what a blast we had. THANK YOU!!!!

I am requesting a Hero's Wish on behalf of my husband. He does not know that I am doing this. He is the type of person that never asks for anything. He is currently on his 4th deployment to Iraq and will be home for R&R the beginning of March 2011. I would love to be able to take him to the Music As A Weapon Tour V - Disturbed and Korn Concert on March 8, 2011 at the Belton Expo Center (2 tickets). He always seems to miss out on events everywhere we've lived, due to constant deployments or training. He even misses out on events downrange due to working long hours. We have been married 6 years and have spent probably 2 1/2 of those together. Before we married he had been in the Army 12 years as a Single Soldier. He has always been a giving person and never asks for anything for himself. Many times he would give up his Leave to his Soldiers who had family and didn't have any Leave left, so they could be with their families. He has been a mentor and support for his Soldiers, helping them through personal, financial, career issues, giving up his own personal and family time when they needed him the most. Please grant him this one wish to make his R&R, and birthday (3/21/1969) one of the most memorable.

Hi my name is Samantha Myers. I am one of 10 children; 2 girls and 8 boys. I am from Ohio. I go to school at Marshall University. I hope to be a pharmacist someday. I love what I do with the military so much that I re-enlisted here in Afghanistan on Christmas. My baby brother is a military policeman and I am very proud of him. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan. My baby brother returned home from Iraq in August. I return home in February. I would like to take my brother and our significant others to the Kid Rock Concert in my town. I think it would be a great way to spend quality time with him and to catch up on the time we have been apart.

I served three tours in Iraq with the Army's Third Infantry Division, and Desert Storm/Shield in the Marines. I was medically retired in February 2010 after a run in with an IED. At Walter Reed, I was diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury to include cognitive disorder & difficulty with balance, Post Traumatic Migraine headaches, Herniated disc L5-S1, Patellofemoral syndrome, Tinnitus, Lower left & right extremity Polyneuropathy and left ear hearing loss. I spent the next 26 months in a Warrior Transition Unit receiving physical, speech, occupational, balance, and TBI therapies. My family loves NASCAR, each has their own favorite driver. We watch NASCAR on T.V. every weekend and I’ve been told Daytona is something you have to experience at least once in your life so this is what we want to experience together. My Hero’s Wish is to take my family to the Daytona 500 on 20 February 2011 so my family can experience something memorable together.

I served 18 years in the Army and was medically discharged in May 2006 after I spent 18 months in Iraq in support of OIF. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, peripheral neuropathy, hearing loss and TBI with severe headaches. I recently had an MRI done and was told my brain & nervous system are deteriorating...gulf war syndrome. I will go through stages beginning with memory loss to dementia/Alzheimer's to nothing. The PTSD makes it difficult to show feelings….haven't been much of a husband in the past 5 years. My wife is my everything. Now we don't have a lot of time left together so we want to make memories. My only memory of NASCAR was the Daytona 500 in 2004...I was deployed watching the race on AFN. On lap 100 we were attacked and a rocket exploded near me. I was tossed like a rag doll and when I woke I had blood running down my face and shrapnel in my head. My wife grew up in the south and has been around racing all her life. She always said Daytona is something you have to experience in person at least once in your life. So this is what we want to experience together. My Hero’s Wish is to walk on the track and see a real pit road, maybe get a picture or an autograph or two. This will be a memory that I hope we will keep us going when the going gets tough.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I want to say thank you very much. Eddie thanks alot for everything you did. What you all do you will never know what it means to some. Faith and I had one of the greatest times of our lives. You allowed us to go into the pits, sign the start finish line before the race, and most importantly my wife and I smiled for the first time since we dont know when. My wife took tons of pictures so I could remember what you all allowed us to do. I can't expressed what a great time we had. Thank you all so very much. Paul and Faith
