Past Hero's Wishes
My names is Kaitlin Barnett. I am currently serving my fourth deployment. I want to take a family vacation with my daughter, husband and mother when I return this winter. My mother has spent a large portion of the past year taking care of my daughter as both her parents were deployed. I want to use this vacation for some much needed bonding time and as a transitional period post deployment. I would like to take my family on a Disney World Park Hopper vacation when I return from my deployment

Thank You Message from the Hero:
On behalf of our family, we wanted to sincerely thank you for the tickets to Disney over Halloween week! We took our daughter to Epcot during the food festival (where we dressed up as vampires and ninjas!), enjoyed Avatar experiences at Animal Kingdom, met Mickey and friends at Hollywood, and enjoyed all the parades at Magic Kingdom. Naturally, our daughter's favorite time at Disney was the pool afterwards. This would not have been possible without the sponsorship from Vettix and of course Frank, Aeron, Robert, Matt, Chaleen, James and Hero's wish. Thank you and blessings.

I'm a cowboys fan, along with our oldest son. My wife, daughter and in-laws are Eagles fans! Our youngest goes back and forth saying go Cowboys or go Eagles. My wife and in-laws are going to Philadelphia the weekend the Cowboys play the Eagles. It just so happens the game is on October 16th. The same day I stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan in 2010. My wish would be to go to the game with my family and enjoy it on my alive day. I know as a Cowboys fan walking into the Linc would be hostile territory but to experience this with my family on a day like that would really just make me happy. Also, being limb salvage for 12 years has taken its toll on my foot. I still have an open wound and am in the process of figuring out logistics to get a below the knee amputation. I go to BAMC to talk about surgery in August 2022. I most likely would have it after the game.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
On behalf of me, my wife and in-laws. We would like to say thank you to Derek, Ann, Melissa, Christopher, Karen, Rigoberto, Steve, Larry, Donald, Jonathan, Wounded Warrior, Retir, and Mark. This is definitely a check off the bucket list! Thank y'all so much for donating for us to go to the game. We really had the best time! Even though my Cowboys lost, it was awesome! This truly meant a lot to me and I couldn't think of a better way to have celebrated my alive day! Please keep my wife and kids in your prayers as I have decided to go through with a below knee amputation October 20, 2022 at BAMC. Being limb salvage for 12 years has finally taken its toll. To be able to go to this game right before my surgery, it truly has helped my spirit in so many ways. Again, thank you to all of the donors, Y'all are the reason this was made possible! Appreciate y'all so much! God Bless!

My name is SMSgt Jason Walker and I have served in the Air Force for 27 years and counting. I recently got back from a deployment in Afghanistan. I have been deployed all across the world from South Korea, Djibouti, Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and many more. My deployments have always put a great deal of stress on my wife, Gretchen, and two daughters, Simone and Saffron (18 & 12) and I haven't been able to show them my appreciation for all they have done back here at home. I am hoping to take them on a much needed trip this summer to Disney World in Florida for some family time and a stress reliever. We've never taken a family vacation and this trip would mean the world to my family and I. Thank you for your consideration and God bless.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
My family and I are very thankful to everyone that made this possible for us. The kids had a blast and so did my wife and I. After a long deployment seeing my family full of joy was exactly what we needed and we have made memories of a lifetime. Thank you Vet Tix for making this happen.

Hi! My name is Technical Sergeant Teddrick Thibodeaux, Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist. I entered the United States Air Force in 2011 and currently stationed overseas. I am currently on my 2nd deployment to a specialized base in an Afghanistan province. I have been deployed for 3 months now, working 14-hour days, no downtime and constantly on the move to sustain aircrew equipment by ensuring safety measures are in place for the individuals that fly those aircrafts, it's a bittersweet feeling to know that I directly affect the mission and save lives daily. This deployment in particular has put a great deal of stress on my family. I am the father of two beautiful kids (Lilah (8) and Teddrick Jr (4)) and husband to my amazing wife Daisha. I want to let my wife and kids know how much I appreciate them for their sacrifices, tremendous support and love I have received from them. Every day that I'm not with them, it brings a sense of sadness that I'm missing their smiles, excitement from coming home from school, chances to watch little league and much more. I want to extend my gratitude to my family with this trip, not just for missing family time due to these deployments but for the last 12 years. I am requesting four, 4-day park hopper tickets to Disneyland, in California. This will be our 1st family vacation in 4 years. What we have been through as a family, it is very much needed! I want to personally thank Vettix and all the contributors in advance for making my kids dream come true! God Bless America!

My name is TSgt Julian Andes. I have a family of 4, a dog and a cat. In my leisure time, I like to play basketball, run and weight lift. My wife and I are big fans of Daddy Yankee. We found out that he will be retiring from the music industry and will have his last world tour this year. We are currently stationed at Kadena Air Base Okinawa Japan and we will PCS back to the states in Aug 20, 2022. We wish to attend one of his last concerts at Amway Center Orlando Florida on Aug 26, 2022.

My name is SSgt Antonio Antunez. I retired from the USAF in 2020 after serving for 14 years, I was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, on my 1st deployment to Iraq in 2007 and my squad was ambushed by small arms fire and I was wounded in an IED blast. I received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor for the injuries that I sustained and for saving the life of our interpreter by rushing inside the burning HUMVEE and getting him out to safety while engaging the enemy under fire, I was awarded a BSM with Valor. I suffer from multiple medical issues due to my injuries during my five deployments in the service. I was medically retired in 2020 after I couldn't keep up with all of my injuries and decided to actually take care of myself, the USAF medical team told me that I couldn't keep hiding all my injuries and that it was time to heal and that has been and will be a long journey for me and my family. My daughter and my fiancé have supported me through all of my journey it's hard on them, but I can find love and support in them every time. After I was medically retired COVID hit and we have not been able to have a vacation, first was my Medical Evaluation Board and that was very stressful and then COVID made it even worse for my family and I. It would be an incredible experience to visit Disneyland with my family. I would like to request 3 five-day park hopper passes, to take my family this will start a journey to heal physical and mentally injuries and it would be a great to experience that with my family who has always been there for me, thank you.
