I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Marie (14 years married) and together we have two children, Elodie (7 years old) and Gabriel (3 years old). I've been in the military for 14 years, a majority of the time being in MARSOC as a Marine Special Ops Operator. For my 5th and most recent deployment in April of 2023 I was Force Mobilized to Iraq with NATO. Due to sourcing issues for a replacement, I was extended three times to make a six months turn into a one year deployment overseas! Over the year, I’ve missed birthdays and holidays alike, especially when the kids were hoping for me to be “home by their birthdays!” As I look to come home and reconnect with my family after one year apart, I’m wishing to take my family to Disney World. Having time together would be a blessing and opportunity to help make up for all the time lost while I was in Iraq. My kids and wife have been so strong thinking I would be home soon and to be disappointed to find the deployment was extended 3 times for a total of a year. I would love to be able to surprise the kids with this. Thank you so much for your consideration and hopeful support. As we say in the Marine Raiders, “Never above you, never below you, always beside you.”

Thank You Message from the Hero:
Dear Vet Tix Foundation and the generous donors: Rebecca, Oscar in Honor of Cpl Toledo and Ssgt Deakin, Troy, Gene in Honor of Gene Studniski (USMC Vet), Jason, Kurt, Kenneth, A Generous Person, A Generous Person, and Christopher. Thank you so much for the tickets for four days at Walt Disney World! Our family loved every moment of our time there, and we feel so incredibly blessed that we were able to spend this special time together. The kids especially loved the rides and the fireworks each night. Our 4-year-old’s favorite ride was the Slinky Dog roller coaster at Epcot, and our 8-year-old couldn’t get enough of Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom. Seeing the joy on their faces is something we’ll treasure forever. We also want to sincerely thank you for the additional gift that was included. That was such a generous and unexpected surprise! It really helped ease the financial burden of meals and made it possible for us to enjoy the experience without stress. Having this opportunity to spend quality time together after my year-long deployment was something our family truly needed. It allowed us to reconnect, laugh, and make unforgettable memories as a family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making that possible. Your generosity has meant the world to us. Thank you for this once in a lifetime trip! Semper Fi and God bless, Tyler & Family
