Hello, I am MSgt Douglas McGraw & have served in the USAF for 22+ years. I'm the 3rd generation of my family who's been proud to have served our great nation. My Grandfather was a WWII Battle of the Bulge and Dachau concentration camp liberator, my father who served in the 82nd Airborne from Dominican Republic, Air Cavalry in Vietnam 65 LZ X-ray and then finally the Gulf War in the Air National Guard. I myself have just returned from a 1yr deployment to Kandahar Afghanistan as an Advisor to the Afghan Air Force working daily side by side with my Afghan counterparts. I am married to my wife for 22yrs and been together for 24years. We have 2 grown children. This has been my 5th career contingency deployment among countless other times spent away from my wife who has been by my side faithfully for longer than my military career. The past year saw high stress and even family member death affect our whole family but our marriage in particular suffered. My wife and I have always been in unity in putting our children's needs above our own, to the point of signing over my GI bill to our children. Additionally while in Afghanistan I adopted a stray dog that strayed onto our end of the flight line in Kandahar that has made the transition back to daily stateside life a bit stressful. My deep felt wish is to surprise my wife and take her on that long overdue fun filled vacation to show her and my girls how much I appreciate their support. If anyone is able to help bless us, I wish to take them on a 4 day Disneyland park hopper pass. I appreciate Vet Tix for giving Veteran's this amazing platform and to all those who support our men and women in uniform. God bless MSgt Douglas McGraw

Thank You Message from the Hero:
It's not enough to simply say thank you for the honor of having my heroes wish granted. We are indebted to the sponsors and Vettix for allowing our family the opportunity to make happy memories at Disneyland that will last a lifetime. Disneyland is truly the happiest place on earth! Hopefully someday we will be in the position to help someone else as you have helped us. We were especially fortunate as Disney had just begun the Maxpass deal and we got wonderful professional photos with Groot, Darth Vader and Chewbacca in particular. The icing on the cake for us was attending the flag retreat ceremony at the town square. I had the increadible honor of being given the Disneyland challenge coin which truly is something I will treasure. Thank you so much again for making a lifetime of memories for me and my family at Disneyland. V/R MSgt Douglas McGraw & family
