Past Hero's Wishes
My name is James. I Marine veteran and severely wounded purple heart recipient. My youngest daughter was born during the pandemic and we would love to give her the magical memories of a Disney experience. I am requesting tickets for my family of 5 for Walt Disney World in order to create lifelong memories for our family. During my deployment in Iraq I experienced loss of lives too soon. I have tried to make it a priority to make memories in my everyday life with my wife and three daughters as often as I can, because tomorrow is never promised.

I have just returned from deployment as I was overseas for the past 10 months I learned how difficult it is to be without those you love, and also learned to lean on my soldiers. It was difficult 10 months being in the Middle East, I have gone through both emotional and physical challenges that have turned me into the strong person I am. I have grown, and changes a lot but music kept me going. Sharing music with the person I love the most who stuck by me is truly my biggest dream, I wish to experience the Eagles with the person that stuck by through this deployment. The tickets themselves alone are an expense that would be alleviated as I would cover for travel and stay since I am originally from Texas. Any help is appreciated, considering my transition as a whole has been difficult it is genuinely something that would help me financially as well as give a breather after being gone for so long

My name is Michelle. Roughly one month ago, I returned home to the states from a nine month overseas deployment. The length of time being away became slightly more stressful for me and our family once my eldest son decided to join the military as well, leaving his daughter (my grand-daughter) to rely solely on her mother and extended family members (when possible) to care for her. My grand-daughter is three years old and although I hope in due time she'll understand her father and I commitments, I'd like to make a wish to be able to take her on a Disney World Trip in order to spend some quality time with her and reestablish our bond. Her and I are close but it seems slightly different now as she would inquire as to where I was for so long, especially when she would go to my house prior to her dad shipping off. I'd really appreciate being granted this grand wish either as a late birthday gift to her [early October she'll be 4 yrs. old] or an early Christmas gift since we were not together last holiday season, thank you!

Hello, my name is Nick. I am a 17 year Army Soldier, husband, and father to two wonderful children. I am currently deployed to the Middle East. While this is my third deployment for the military, this is my first as a Dad. Back home, I live the somewhat cliche tale of a full-time Sheriff Deputy married to an elementary school teacher. My wife and I both have a passion for serving others, but this trip is far different with my wife taking on so much of the burden. By the time all is done and I am finally home, my family will have been apart for over 13 months out of a 16 month period. I would like nothing more than to take my 8 year old and 5 year old for a trip to Disney World to celebrate finally being a family again and to thank them for letting their Dad go help others while I could. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello, my name is Riley. I am currently deployed in Iraq serving a 6 month deployment and my wish is to take my family to a Broadway show once I return to make up for lost time! No one in my family, including me, has ever been able to see a show and would love to give them that experience!

Hi, my name is Richie. I'm a 19 D Cav Scout in the U.S. Army. I'm active duty and have been in the Army for 10.5 years. I'm currently serving on my 2nd deployment. In the picture, you see my family and I moments before I left for deployment. Me and my wife have 3 handsome boys ages 13,12 and 5. I will return back in a few weeks and would love to surprise my family with a vacation to Disney World.

My name is Stephen and I was in the Army from 2006-2013. During my deployment in 2011, my friend was killed and I was injured in an IED explosion. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery and I am taking my family out to visit him In December. Since I have gotten out I have coached youth baseball (8-18 years old) for 12 years. I have taught middle school and high school for 5 years and I am a currently full time middle school math teacher. I got married in 2021, and I have two kids; a boy who is 12 and a girl who will 2 in November. I would love the opportunity to also take my son and my dad to the Army Navy Football game Dec 12 at Northwest Stadium.

- Rose Anne in Honor of Henry P. Mallon, Army,Special Forces, donated $25.00
Thank You Message from the Hero:
I cannot fully express my extreme gratitude for such a generous gift! I am so humbled by the generosity of Paul and Rose Anne. It brought me such joy to experience something like the Army Navy game with my dad and my son. I was able to share more with them the fun times and all the struggles that went into my time in the Army. The true hero’s however are those who went before me such as Bill Jaret and Henry Mallon and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice like PFC Theodore Rushing of 371 Cav 3rd Bde 10th Mountain. Because of you all any of this is possible! Thank you!

My Name is Brandon. I am Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. I have been serving for a total of 12 years in the US Navy and I just returned from and 8 month deployment with the USS Carney. I have 3 children ages 6, 4, and 1 with my wife of 13 years. The only thing my children asked for when I returned was to go to Disney World for their first time. This was a really hard deployment for my family seeing my command on the news everyday for the amount of combat we were in, being that this was the first deployment where my oldest has really known what was going on and really struggled in school with it. I want to also give my wife a nice vacation as she has sacrificed so much over the years because of my service and taking care of all of the children by herself while I was gone with no support. I am super proud of my family for staying so strong and I would like to surprise them with this visit. I am requesting a total of 4-four day tickets to Walt Disney World with park hopper, a memory maker pass for the trip, and genie+ pass in (Orlando) Florida for 2 adults and 2 children.

I am currently on my second deployment. I am currently in Europe and have been here for about 6 months now. I’ll be returning home soon in a few months and I would like to surprise my husband to a Steeler’s game. The Steeler’s are his favorite team and I would love to share a moment with him when I get home. We could really use some time to reconnect and do something special with each other after so much time apart.
