Past Hero's Wishes
It has always been a dream of mine to get my wife and I and my brother and his wife together for a basketball game. My brother and I dont have the greatest of a relationship, but over the last year while I have been deployed we have started to bond more than we ever have. My brother is a huge Heat fan and my wife and I are big Magic Fans. I think it would be awsome if we had the chance to get together and watch a game as both of our teams battle. I really would enjoy this and I'm sure my brother would appreciate it as well

My name is SGT Nathan Siebach and I'm writing this wish on behalf of myself and five other soldiers in my unit. We are currently at our mob station at Ft. McCoy, WI in preparation for a 12 month deployment to Afghanistan and have watched the end of the NFL season with great angst and excitement as three of us are avid Packers fans and the other three die hard bears fans. The fact that this game is a possibility this year has brought on massive amounts of trash talking from each side. By some miracle we have one break in our training schedule which happens to be from the 23rd thru the 26th of Jan. The 23rd being a possible date for the NFC Championship game. We realize that a few stars need to align before this would even be a possibility, such as both teams winning their divisional playoff games this weekend (which both sets of fans are confident will happen) and then the NFC championship game actually being scheduled on the 23rd. We can provide our own transportation and lodging to/from the game and are asking for any seats to the game. To be able to go to Soldier Stadium and witness such a game right before leaving for our deployment would be one of the greatest gifts ever. Many thanks to any and all who could make such a miracle dream wish come true and give three soldiers total bragging rights for the upcoming year in Afghanistan over their fellow soldiers. Thank you, *cough*gobears*cough

Dear Vet Tickets and Contributors - Just wanted to say thanks soooo much for making it possible for us to go to the game. We had a blast,even if the Bears lost *sigh*. Because it was an early afternoon game we drove down early from Ft. McCoy, WI and stopped by Wrigley field before heading to the stadium. The seats were amazing, and even saw Terry Bradshaw right in front of us after the game. On the way back we stopped at Giordanos for saw awesome Chicago deep dish pizza. Even though the upcoming year in Afghanistan will be full of relentless packer fan gloating, we would not have traded this experience for anything. Thanks again to vet tix and this wonderful program.

My wife, Lara, has wanted desperately to see the musical Wicked ever since it came out. I have wanted to take her to see it, but the last time I planned to, I was deployed to Kuwait. Then we had twins and the likelihood of us going after that severely diminished. Lara has been a good sport about it, and a wonderful mother to my daughters. I am now in Afghanistan, but I would like to surprise my wife and take her to see Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre when I get back from my deployment. I know that it is a lot to ask, but I wanted to give her the best seats available, since it will probably be the only time we are ever able to make it. I was planning on taking her roughly 12 January 2011.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
I wanted to thank Chris from TN and Eddy from Vettix for allowing me to take my wife to this amazing show. Not only was Eddy able to hook us up with awesome seats, he also set us up for a backstage tour after the show were they told us how they do their magic. My wife even got to hold many of the props for the show, and we even ran into Mandy Gonzalez (Elphaba in the show). It was a night to remember, and I am so very grateful for the opportunity that Vettix gave me to share this with my wife. I appreciate what you have done for this soldier, as well as all you do for all of us that serve. Thank you again!

My name is SGT Roland Gutierrez, and I am currently deployed in Iraq. But I will be home soon, very soon. I hope that someone can fulfill my wish to go the the final game of the NFL season; the Chiefs vs. Raiders on January 2nd. I would love to take my family to go see the Chiefs play before the football season ends. After I come back from Iraq, I will have to report the Germany and my new duty station for 3 years. So this will be my last chance to go to an NFL game for a while. Thank you for considering/donating tickets to me and my family.

I would like to thank the Kansas City Chiefs staff and players for making myself and my family wish come true. It was a very memorable moment, and I couldn't of asked for a better gift. That weekend was the only time we all could be together, and what better way to the day together than to watch the Chiefs play! I want to also thank Vet Tix for making this all happen. Without the selflessness of everyone involved with Vet Tix, none of this would be possible. God Bless our troops, Vet Tix, the Chiefs and the USA!!!!

I am a big OU Sooners fan. I am coming home for R&R 1 January, 2011. This bowl game is a dream of mine and my wife's. I want to do something for her since she has been my rock through this deployment to Afghanistan. We never had a honeymoon and not sure if we ever will because money is tight when you are a E4; She never complains though. She always puts me first. We do not have a PX at the FOB I am on, so she always keeps the boxes coming. Even when we are broke, she always finds enough to send me necessities. I can say that we have become closer though we are 7,000 miles apart. I know the Fiest Bowl is a big dream. I would be in heaven if this came true. God bless you all for what you are doing. You make everything I do worth it. Knowing that we have people who care and support us no matter where we are, well that makes me feel good to be a soldier! Thank you and God bless America!

I am a soldier who is about to deploy to Afghanistan on my second tour overseas starting January 6th and would LOVE to go to see the Fiesta Bowl on January 1st with my wife. I don't care who is playing, I am just a HUGE fan of football, from high school all the way up to the pros. I will watch any game. We just moved to the Tempe area and would think this would be the perfect way to celebrate my departure. Thank you.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
My wife and I had just gotten married in May 2010, when I found out I would be getting deployed to Afghanistan for a year in January. Right before I deployed, I was blessed with the opportunity to have one of my bucket list items checked off via a Hero's Wish - attending a major bowl game, in this case the Fiesta Bowl where Oklahoma played UConn. It was truly a magical experience to see a bowl game of this magnitude and left lasting memories my wife and I still talk about 13 years later. Thank you VetTix!

I am currently on active duty with the Mighty Marne Division (3rd Infantry Mech). This is my second tour to Iraq. Since enlisting my wife and I haven"t been able to attend a single Minnesota Wild hockey game. Its been since 2006. We used to attend them kind of frequently with some close friends of ours, but unfortunately, due to the operation tempo of my current duty station in Georgia, we have not been able to get together. Soon I will be home from Iraq and able to take some long awaited leave. Fortunately, my leave runs right through Christmas, and the Minnesota Wild play the San Jose Sharks on 29DEC2010. Since I promised my wife we would go home for Christmas(since I'll actually be here) I thought it would be a great idea to try and get those friends together again to go see one more Wild hockey game. Well, thanks for hearing me out.. Eitherway this goes, I really think this is a FANTASTIC thing this agency does.. Simply AMAZING!

My husband Rene was born and raised in Miami (Coral Gables). Six years ago, he joined the U.S. Army, and was stationed up at Ft. Drum, N.Y., where we currently live. My husband is an Infantryman, and has deployed three times in the past six years to spent a total of 39 months at war. Because of these grueling combat rotations, he has not been able to go to a Dolphins game in five years. When he was younger, he would go to games as often as he could. He is the ultimate Dolphins fan, always telling me to check the game and let him know how they are doing when he calls, and every Christmas all he asks me for is Dolphins memorbelia. Please, help me surprise my husband with 3 tickets (my husband, myself, and our 4yr old and newborn) to see the Miami Dolphins vs. Lions on Dec. 26th. He doesn't know I am doing this, I don't want to get his hopes up.

I am SSG Deborah Lawrence and I'm currently on my 2nd deployment. The 1st deployment was to Iraq in 03-04 and this time it is Afghanistan with the 1092nd Engineer Battalion. My husband & I are avid Browns fans but have never attended a NFL game in person. I will be home on leave from my deployment in December and I know there is a Browns home game in Cleveland against the Ravens on the 26th. We live in West Virginia and it wouldn't be much of a drive to get to the game. My Hero's Wish is for my husband & I to get (2) tickets to the Browns game and maybe a one night stay at a nice hotel in Cleveland. It would be a great mini-vacation and some much needed time spent together for the two of us. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my Hero's Wish! Sincerely, SSG Deborah Lawrence
