Past Hero's Wishes
Hi! My name is Danny. I just got back home from a deployment to Kuwait, and like many others struggled with being away from my family and missing so much of what they were doing. I have a wife and three daughters who are 15, 12 and 9. Missing things like the holidays, them starting high school, middle school and a new elementary and all of their sporting events was not easy at all. My wife did an amazing job taking care of everything while I was gone, but now I am so glad to be home and a part of everything again. We don’t ever take actual family vacations because we really only travel for sports. So this summer while we are in Orlando for futsal, I would love to take my family to Universal. I would really love to get a universal military freedom pass for each of us so we can in and out of the two parks because we won’t be able to go and spend an entire day there. This would mean so much to me to be able to surprise my wife and girls with this one our trip, so that is why I am hoping to get 5 universal military freedom passes.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make our wish come true! It has been awhile since we have gone on a family vacation and got to do something other than sports. We really enjoyed being able to spend this time together at Universal, especially after me being gone for a year and missing so much. We are forever grateful!

My name is Luis. This month I completed 10 years in the US Army Reserve and just returned from an overseas deployment (9 months) which came short notice as my orders were cut only 1 month prior to deployment. I missed all except one birthday and missed my anniversary as well. My wife is an amazing woman who helped our family successfully endure the impact of this last-minute deployment. She managed four boys and two active German Shepherds, so it was not an easy task for her! I am very grateful that we were able to make it through the challenges we experienced. That is why I would love to take my family to NYC to see "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" on Broadway. My kids love music and Harry Potter and I know this will help inspire a greater appreciation for music and the arts. We would also take advantage of being in NYC to see the World Trade Center Memorial. Your kind consideration is greatly appreciated! We will be grateful for anything that may be provided. Thank you!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
On behalf of my family, we wish to express our heartfelt THANK YOU to all those who helped make our Hero's Wish a reality. The experience we had attending Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was remarkable and will be something my kids will remember for a long time. Even though we're big Harry Potter fans, attending this play on Broadway would not have happened without the generosity of all the donors and VetTix. While in NYC, we also took time to visit the 9/11 Memorial and the Intrepid Museum which helped my kids better understand the many ways in which we can serve our communities. Special thanks to: Patrick, Margaret, Ann Marie, Montie, Kenneth, Menahem and Tania in Honor of John A. ("LJ") Chambers II, Chasitty, James, Wilson, Margaret in Honor of Robert Tollefson, and all those donors who chose to remain anonymous. You generosity is much appreciated...thank you!

My name is Mike, and I am currently deployed in the Middle East with the US Army. This is my second 10 month deployment to the Middle East. I deployed once in 2021 and currently from my deployment in 2023 until my return. During my time at home I suffered a severe leg fracture on a parachute jump that put me on the sidelines for over a year. I would love to be able to take my family to Disney World, and go to the parks for my return, and for my twins 4th birthday. Because of my two deployments, and recovery from injury I have missed almost half of my twins lives. Being able to surprise them with 6 multi-day tickets to the parks would not only be a great birthday gift, but a wonderful welcome home. My wife and four kids have given up so much over the last three years, that being able to take them to all of the parks would help to show them how appreciated and loved they all are.

My name is LeAnn. I just returned from a year deployment to Jordan. I am glad to be home! My husband did an absolutely amazing job taking care of 3 kids and working full time and I would love to surprise him with Monster Jam Finals tickets. My family and I love Monster Jam and we go whenever we can. My 7 year old even wants to be a Monster Truck mechanic! The finals are close by this year at Sofi Stadium and I would really love to take the family! We live in Nevada but can drive over. We need 5 tickets so that we can take the whole family. We have 2 parents and 3 children.

I'm Active Duty Army who returned from deployment in August. I've been in the Army for 14 years with 3 Deployments to various Countries around the world. I would love to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World once we PCS and settle down. I've been married to my wife for 5 years and we have 2 kids. My son is 1 and my daughter is 3. My wife is a very compassionate/strong person that given up her career to raise our children at home. She has gone through a lot this past year with deployment and being away for training. (I can't imagine how tough it is raising 2 kids virtually by yourself) I would love to be able to take my family on a trip to Disney World to regain some of the time I've missed and build memories that will last forever. If you could help make our trip possible we would be forever grateful! Thank you!

My name is Luis. I am currently deployed to the Middle East. This will be my 4th deployment/rotation away from my family. This year was especially rough for both my 3yr old and 9yr old due to me being deploying throughout the entirety of the winter holidays. I would love to re-create the high spirits by taking my kids and wife to Disney World during my post deployment leave. Thank you.

My name is Dale. I am the recipient of both the Purple Heart and Bronze star, but the true hero in my family's life is 11-year old daughter. She was diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 2. Her battle is silent. Her seizures are not always clear to the human eye, and can be as simple as a stare or a blink, but it has had a significant impact on her learning and causes significant delays. She struggles at school, but we are constantly getting calls and notes sent home about how hard she works and how she is always helping others. She gives her all in whatever she does. Despite her disability, she remains the light of our eyes. I am no longer able to make the trips to Disney World due to trouble walking other long-term injuries, but would love to be able for her to go and enjoy the magic. My wife is the primary caretaker for both my daughter and I, and she deserves a girl's trip with our daughter so that she can spend the entire trip focusing on her and making it extra special. I am therefore requesting Disney World park hopper tickets for her 12th birthday, which is in early April of this year. This would give them a little more freedom to bring back souvenirs and enjoy all that Disney has to offer without the worry of the ticket cost. I would love to be able to reward my small but mighty hero little girl.

There are not enough words to say how thankful my family and I are for this unforgettable experience! My daughter had the best time, and to see her smile warmed my heart so much. Without donors like you and your support, this would not have been possible. Disney really is the Happiest Place on Earth! Our child will never forget this trip. Vet Tix made us all feel like celebrities with their treatment prior to leaving. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing this for us!

My name is Jesse. I'm currently deployed for a 2nd time in the 11 year AF career. I have a loving wife, Kaitlyn and together have two beautiful children Reiley (3) and Everett (1.5). I have missed both of my children's birthdays along with the summer holidays this year. My hope is to be enjoy a family vacation together when I return home from this deployment. This is my first deployment with a wife and 2 kids at home. The last 7 months without our family being together has been very hard on us. I have missed a lot of quality family time since April and we would love to make up for it by going on a Disney trip! We haven't been on a family vacation since we have had kids and would love to finally go on one! Disneyland would absolutely be a dream come true as None of us have ever been there before so we're really excited to hopefully be able to go!
