My name is Donny Daughenbaugh, I am a medically retired OIF-II Marine. I was an 0311 and enjoyed being a rifleman and during my short time in Iraq I believe I helped make a difference. One night, 7 weeks into my deployment I was searching a car when the driver shot me in the face. The bullet broke my jaw, and stayed too close to my spinal cord and my brain to be removed. I'm now 12 years post injury and have developed a headache disorder, a small seizure issue and chronic nerve damage from the course of the bullet. I was given a purple heart in Bethesda and used my injury and my ongoing recovery to help me as an advocate for other wounded veterans. My family is very involved in helping to advocate for the needs of wounded veterans and their families. I have a wife, 13 year old daughter, 8 yr old son and a baby on the way! My wife and daughter are big fans of the Hamilton Broadway show. I'd like to add the difficulty in getting these tickets with the possibility of VetTix making it happen to equal an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity for my family.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
To each of the donors that made our Hamilton musical a possibility, I genuinely, truly appreciate it. My daughter said it was the best night of her life and all night I looked over at her, there was never a time when she didn't have a smile on her face. You gave us 4 tickets to an incredible opportunity and these memories will last us a lifetime! Thank you Vet Tix and supporters, this was an awesome once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
