My name is SGT. Kenneth Darnell. I'm currently on my first deployment. I have a beautiful blended family and we had a wonderful new addition during my deployment. My wife Catherine is currently attending school while doing an amazing job as a stay at home mother. Catherine and I have been together for just over 2 years and have 4 kids between us: Donye 12, James 10, Arriyanna 8, and the newest addition is Cameron 4 months. On the civilian side I work at a paper mill which is a 7 day a week operation in which I get very few days off and work a lot of 12-16 hour days. Due to financial reasons I have to return to work almost immediately upon my return because I used up all of my leave when I went home for the birth of my son. I would love nothing more than being able to surprise my family with what would be our first vacation as a family together. I am requesting (5) 4-day Armed Forces Salute tickets to Disney World. God Bless everyone and thanks for allowing me tell you my story!

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Words cannot express how grateful we are for the time we have spent at Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida over the past week courtesy of those who were gracious enough to donate money towards our wish. We had an amazing time and are completely exhausted (a great problem to have) from 4 days at Disneyworld with 4 kids, lol. Once again a big thank you to John, William, Dale, Julie, Michelle, Rachel, Trace, and the Veteran Tickets Foundation general Hero's Wish Fund. - The Darnell Family
