My name is Sgt. Robert Aiken. I have two wonderful daughters, ages 5 and 10, Disneyland is our dream of a lifetime! Born in Orange, California I have fond memories of Disneyland while my father, also a Marine, was stationed at El Toro. In 2000 I enlisted in the Marine Corps serving two combat tours beginning with the invasion of Iraq in 2003. In 2004 I got shot up pretty good in Ar Ramadi during a fire fight and subsequently retired medically in 2005. Currently residing in north Texas I've been married to the love of my life for 12 years now. Her unending love makes our lives special everyday. The magic of Disneyland for a few days in sunny southern California is surely in order for her especially. Thank you for your consideration and making dreams come true. God bless.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
California dreamin' turned into reality.... with plenty of Pixy Dust to boot! We enjoyed the experience of a lifetime! From the moment our Hero's Wish was accepted our girls Samantha and Gina began counting down. The day before traveling they even painted my nails with pink glitter polish for the trip and off we flew to California to celebrate Thanksgiving holiday with Mickey and friends. Gigi and I relished every moment making wonderful memories with our children. John, Shane, Connie, Ian, and Ladin, may your kindness bring you blessings this holiday season and for many moons to come. The timing couldn't have been better! Our girls are at the perfect age. They had so much energy for all three days, my wife and I couldn't believe it. Now we know the deal when it comes to getting chores done around the house....HA! We are absolutely thankful.
