Past Hero's Wishes
I am currently deployed in Afghanistan, but will be returning from my tour mid-March! Like most Soldiers, I have been deployed 12 months over the 2 years. I have been in the military for 22 years and have been deployed twice, once in each conflict. My family and I are big NFL fans and have never been able to go to any games due to time and resources. It has been hard on me, my wife and our children. When I have been home we play football together and my whole family gets involved. I would really like to take my family to their first NFL game when I return. I am stationed in Colorado, so the Broncos are the closest NFL team to us. I selected the Denver vs Chargers game to take them to, but any Denver Broncos game would be great. Thank you for considering my Hero’s Wish!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Just wanted to say thank you so much. That was an awsome experience and me and my family enjoyed the game, no bad seats in the stadium awsome view of the field and the game. Thanks so much for making my wish come true.

I will be on leave in August along with my son who is also deployed to iraq. I would really like it if we could go to Six Flags Fiesta Texas with 1 or 2 day park tickets and kinda get away from the day to day life...something extra special before we have to go back. My son and I have deployed together our last deployment but this time I am deployed to afghanistan and he is deployed to Iraq. My wife and my four girls have endured two straight deployments with both men of the house gone. So it will not only be a special event to reward my daughters for all their help, but a celebration for my youngest daughters birthday, and also a chance for me to have some extra special memories before I deploy again to Afghanistan and my son returns to Iraq.

I will be on leave in July and I would really like it if we could go to disneyland with 3 day park hopper tickets and kinda get away from the day to day life so its extra special before I have to go back. My wife has family nearby so we don't have to pay lodging. My oldest son is 6 years old and he has been a wonderful help to my wife, both around the house, and with our new baby who will be turning one during my r&r. So it will not only be a special event to reward my oldest for all his help, but a celebration for my youngest sons birthday, and also a chance for me to have some extra special memories before I have to go back to Afganistan.

Born and raised in Chicago, I have grown up as a Die Hard Cubs fan. I went to many games with my grandfather back in the 80's and with friends and family in the 90's. I brought my wife to her first Cubs Game back in the early 90's. But, being in the Military and with all the deployments and moving around I have never had the opportunity to bring my whole family to a game. I am a father of three awesome childeren, Kayla 17, Mariah 15, and Brian Jr., 12. My dream is to be able to treat my wife Betsy and my three kids to box seats at a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field. My Mother who lives in the Chicago area and who is as big a Cubs fan as I am has not been to a game in over 20 years. She has had a few health setbacks in the past few years. If possible I would love to be able to bring her with my wife and I and her three grandchilderen. This year the Cubs are hosting the NY Yankees...THAT would be the ultimate dream come true!

I once again want to thank VET Tickets for making this summer a one to remember. Being able to take my entire family to the Cubs game was great. Not only that....We sat 8 rows behind home plate, and was escorted onto the field before the game for batting practice and pictures. Thanks Vet TIX and the Chicago Cubs organization for making that possible. CW2 Brian Travis

My name is MSgt Robert Zehnder. I made the choice many years ago to serve my country in the Air Force, and I have just returned from my 3rd deployment. Because of my commitment to the Air Force, and to our great country, I have missed many important dates with my family, including birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. Because of my example, both of my children have followed in my footsteps and enlisted in the Air Force to serve along side of their dear old Dad. Both my son and my daughter make me very proud with their service as Security Forces Fire team members. I am sure that there are many others more deserving of this wish than I. But if awarded a Hero's Wish, I would like to attend the Kenny Chesney concert at Blossom Music Center, June 23, 2011. I know this is a reach but I would like to meet Mr. Chesney and shake his hand to thank him personally for the support he shows our all of our troops. I would very much like to share this experience with my wife, as she has been the backbone of my military career and deserves this wish more than I do. Thank you in advance for your consideration in making my Hero’s Wish come true! Vettix is an amazing organization that has helped soldiers I know personally. Thank you very much for your consideration and for all you do for our veterans.

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting myself and my family attend this concert it was one of the best I have ever see (being in the 5th row and actually shaking his hand and all of us getting our pictures taken with him). Your organization is a blessing and the people who donate to it are good hearted people thinking of our Veterans. Again thank you very much for the concert, it was a great night!!!!!!

Hi everyone. I just got back from Afghanistan and re-united with my family earlier this year and now have been informed I am going back to the same place this Jan. I would love to be able to take my whole family of 10 to the Kenny Chesney Concert at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI on June 11, 2011 on my R&R. My first child was born during my last deployment. My wife and I are blessed to have such a giving family that they helped her through everything while I was overseas. I got back looking forward to spending quality time with everyone after I got done with some re-class training. To not much surprise at all I will be heading back to Afghanistan very soon. It would be a dream come true to be able to take the whole family to a concert that they would love as a thank you for all they have done for my family. I myself have not ever been to a concert and would love to see some of my favorite performers live. I have never been the one to ask for much but I know there is no way that I could do this on my own. Thank you for all you guys do. Vet Tix is an amazing organization that has helped soldiers I know personally. Thank you again.

On 24 September 2008 in Charkh Logar Province, the lead Humvee that Steve Martin was riding in was hit with an IED, Improvised Explosives Device. Steve was in Afghanistan embedded with the US Army as a Law Enforcement expert to assist in training the Afghan Police Force. Steve was blown thru the top of his vehicle and laid unconscious as Al-Qaeda fighters were dragging him away. If not for the actions of his squad leader Steve would not be here today. After a long journey home and numerous surgeries it was finally decided that it would be best to remove both legs...that surgery occurred on 3 November 2009. He has worked hard and recovered “one step at a time”...his first day back on the job and in uniform for AZ Department of Public Safety was 18 November 2010. Steve’s Hero’s Wish is to one day throw out the First Pitch to a home game for his favorite team...the Arizona Diamondbacks. Baseball has always been his first love and ever since the Diamondbacks came into existence he has been a HUGE fan! Steve owns every version of DBacks jersey ever made except one...the current home white jersey. His name, Martin, and #14 is on every one. He’s been to 26 countries and one of these jerseys has seen every country with him. Thank you for considering this Hero’s Wish and for any help to make it come true!

My name is Kevin Hardin and I was seriously wounded while serving as a front-line combat medic in Samarra, Iraq on 9/30/07. I was on my 13th month of deployment when I was injured. I endured over 32 surgeries while in the hospital and am now 100% disabled due to my injuries. When I was recently asked if I have any regrets for joining the Army, my answer is absolutely no. I have no regrets whatsoever for joining the Army and serving my country; what is there to regret? The only regret I might have is the fact that I can no longer serve my country and be a combat medic. My wife and I, along with my father who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, are planning a trip to Orlando, Florida in May 2011. I wish for tickets for Universal Studios in Orlando. Thank you for any assistance you can be.

I am a die hard Texas Rangers fan and currently deployed to Iraq. I will be coming home on leave in the middle of May, around the 10th. I will be home a couple weeks after my first anniversary as well as my daughters second birthday. Both my wife and my daughter are big Rangers fans also. Last season was an amazing year for my Rangers, with not only winning their first ever playoff game, but making it all the way to the World Series. I was in Iraq during their epic journey and could not enjoy any of the games of my beloved team. I did the best I could to keep up with the games, but with my hectic schedule that was fairly difficult. For my Hero’s Wish I would like to be able to take my wife to a game for our anniversary while at the same time taking my daughter to her first MLB and Texas Rangers game for her 2nd birthday. Thank you for your consideration in making my Hero’s Wish come true!

I just want to say thank you for giving me an opportunity to see my favorite team play after missing their World Series run the previous season. Unfortunately my daughter was not able to go to her first game due to being sick, but she was at home with grandma watching ever second of it cheering "Lets go Rangers".
