Hello everyone, My name is Walter Vizcaino. I've served in the Marine Corps on active duty for almost 17 years. I'm stationed in Okinawa Japan executing a two (2) year unaccompanied tour. My family is still in California and I miss them very much. My beautiful wife is holding down the fort and is taking care of our 12 year old daughter "Gabriela" and three year old son "Elijah". The burden of taking care of the house and kids followed by the daily hour long trips for school and soccer has taken its toll on her. She's definitely due for a vacation and a relief. Furthermore, I'm a huge baseball fanatic especially when it involves my Yankees. Due to the multiple deployments, special duty assignment, operational tempo and location of duty stations I have not been able to see my Yankees play nor spend the much needed quality time with the family. With all that said, I would love to treat my wife, family and myself to several days in Anaheim while watching the Yankees beat up on the Angels. According to the MLB schedule they face each other May 5th, 6th and 7th, in Anaheim. Acquiring tickets for these games is always tough so I'm asking for this wish of four tickets to each of those games. I would surprise my wife with other comforting gifts during my stay. Igniting this wish was caused by missing and being so far apart from my family followed by MLB's greatest Captain Derek Jeter waving the retirement flag. All this created a sense of urgency to watch him play and visit my family. Any assistance you can provide would be heartwarming and greatly appreciated. Thanks for being there.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Good morning, Just wanted to leave my testimony in appreciation for a granted wish by the "New York Yankees-MLB, Rocky with the Yankees, four individual donors and "Veteran Tickets" that blessed my family and I. I've been overseas on unaccompanied orders and I was afforded the opportunity to take leave. In doing so, I contacted Vet Tix regarding a wish to see the Angels vs Yankees in the 2014 season. The Yankees are my team and I had never been able to attend a game due to operational commitment. Non the less, this would be Derek Jeter's last stand in Anaheim so I had to attend with the family so we can see one of the greatest Yankees play. The game was awesome as we were able to see Jeter hit a homerun and be presented a surfboard as a token of appreciation by the Angels. We all would like to say thanks to the New York Yankees-MLB, the four individual donors and "Vet Tix" for blessing us with this wish as we spent an amazing day at the field together as a family. Go Yankees R/S The Vizcaino family
- Walter
