Past Hero's Wishes
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. I would really be grateful for my "Hero's Wish" to be able to get five (3-day Park Hopper) tickets to make some great memories with my wife and children.

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.

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.

Hi! My name is Noemi, I am a nurse in the Army. I am currently on a 9-month deployment in the Middle East. When I return I would like to take my family to Disney World for Christmas. They have been very strong and supportive while I have been away, and I would like to give them a family trip of a lifetime. We have always wanted to go to Disney during the holiday season, and I would really like to spend some quality family time in the happiest place on earth. My family would enjoy this trip after being away from each other for 9-months. If you are able to help with park tickets it would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

My name is John and I am an active duty Marine from Alabama. I will be returning from my 4th deployment mid-November and have the opportunity to return home to Alabama for Thanksgiving for the first time in many years! It would be a dream come true to get 5 tickets and be able to take my wife and 3 daughters to the Iron Bowl! We are huge Alabama fans and watching football together is one of our favorite things to do. My wife and daughters have never been to a game, and I would love to be able to give them that gift while reuniting after another deployment. Thank you so much for your consideration and… Roll Tide!

My Name is Jalen and I would love to take my family to the Texas vs Arkansas football game. Football is my favorite sport and my son is starting his first year of tackle football. I’m not sure if I’ll get to see him play as I’m due to come home within the next couple months. This would be his first pro or college game to go to and I know he would never forget this. I will be missing his birthday so this would be a gift to him.
