My Hero's wish is to attend the Miami Heat Basketball game while I'm on R&R from deployment. While on my deployment my father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and his favorite basketball team is the Miami Heat. And I would like to surprise him with tickets to the game when I go home on R&R. I would really appricate the donation. Thank you God Bless. |

California Dreaming-Disneyland vacation.
My name is SMSgt Don Russo I will be returning in February or March 2012. Over the past 2 years, I relocated my family from Europe back to the US; got them settled in our new duty station; then went on several temporary duty assignments for about a year. I have not spent a lot of quality time with them and a vacation is well overdue. Needless to say, I've missed lots of birthdays and holidays and I want to make it up to my wonderful wife and my beautiful children. I hope to take my kids to Disneyland and my wife to Manhattan and Venice beaches and other attractions around LA and San Diego.
My Hero's wish is that I would like to take my wife and 3 kids to Disneyland in the spring of 2012. I would greatly appreciate tickets to Disneyland. I'll need 5 tickets because I have 3 kids ages 8,3,and 2 plus my wife and I. |

A Golf Dream come True - The Masters Championship
Hi my name is Aaron Remont and I have proudly been serving in the United States Navy for over fifteen years. I deploy in May 2012 for 7 months to the Persian Gulf. I have been happily married for thirteen years and have a seven year old son. My father left during my high school years and my mom battled cancer for three years and passed away three years ago. I have been blessed with a great supportive family and could not have asked for better in laws. They have always made me feel a part of there family and were a huge help during my mothers battle with cancer. Deployments are always hard but knowing my father in law is there to take care of my wife and son while I am away means a lot. My father in law and I share the same passion for golf. I have never been to a PGA tour event in my life. My dream would be to follow the PGA tour pro's for four days at Augusta and witness the greatest golfers in the world compete for the Masters Championship. I would love the opportunity to take him to the masters in Augusta as a way of saying thank you. I can not repay him for all he has done for my family and especially me. I would love this opportunity to share a great event with a man I would call DAD. |

Kansas Motor Speedway Sprint Cup Race
My Hero's wish is to enjoy a full Nascar weekend with pit passes and if possible, meet Dale Jr. Don't really care which race or where. I am currently in Afghanistan on deployment with the 45th IBCT, 1/179 INF BN, E Co 700 BSB as a part of the Recovery/Maintenance Team. We have suffered many losses here. While here many of us where able to watch a few of the races. Many of us ordered cars and trucks and started a RC race schedule with qualifying and points. Of course, I put the "88" and a few logos on the side of my truck. Sent pictures to JR Motorsports. They thought it was cool. I didn't get to make all the races due to missions but, when I did, it was a good way to get away from the elements. What a way to get back into the swing of things after I get home. I am not real sure when that will be yet. Should be before the race at Texas. My request would be at a track that I have not been to yet. Maybe Kansas Speedway? Like I said earlier, any track is good with me. |

Disney World Vacation - Renew vows three wishes in one
I am currently in Afgahnistan and scheduled for block leave in May 2012. My wife and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary January 16th 2012 and again for the 4th time I was not there. When we were married we were not in a typical wedding and I never proposed in the conventional dream way. My Hero's wish is to take my son (1yr), daughter (5 yr), and wife to Disney World in Orlando Florida in May and somehow arrange a public vow renewal where I can wear my Dress uniform and get on one knee for my much deserving wife. She has supported me through every moment of our life and my career with minimal complaint. I would love to show her that she and my Family are what keeps me focused and able to maintain my resiliancy through deployments and my Army career. Additionaly this would grant the wish of my daughter which asks if I will take her to Disney and get her cotton candy. There is no date but if this dream is possible I am sure I can get the date arranged to work together for this. Thank you again for all you do as sponsors and supporting Soldiers. |

Disney World Dream
My name is SFC Nicole Durbin and I left my family on April 11th of 2011. Our adventure begins when the Army PCS’d me from WI to MI, before the move we could say we were given the short end of the stick leaving us with little money and a lot of pain in our family. Once we got to MI, hoping for a better life and ready to start fresh, I was informed the unit was deploying, a bit of a shock since we moved to MI in Nov and the unit was deploying in Apr. We decided it would be good way to save money and take the family on a Disney trip since we had gone through as much as a family could handle. Shortly after my departure my husband informed me the house we currently live in needed $2500 worth of electrical and plumbing and if it wasn’t taken care of they would have to be removed from the home, about a month later our transmission in our car seized up costing us $3000. Recently on my R&R when my husband picked me up from the airport, heading home we were in an accident, a part from a semi truck flew off and smashed into the front of our vehicle. Besides starting the R&R off badly, my children were beyond surprised to see me it was the best Christmas gift a mother could ask for. For the past 9 months I've watched my babies grow up from Skype, little videos and pictures, my husband has done a phenomenal job with the boys since roles have been reversed in life. This deployment has been really hard on my youngest son not understanding why mommy is gone for so long, my oldest just keeps telling me he wants me to come home. When I returned from R&R I was informed our house is so outdated that there is no insulation in the house and it needs to be done as soon as possible to keep the house warm for the kids and pipes freezing. I really want to take my family to Disney World despite all the mishaps in the past 9 months, I just want to give my children a vacation and see the biggest smiles on their faces. I think this would be a dream come true; Regardless if you answer my wish or not thank you for all the wishes you have answered and the support you provide us. This trip is planned for when I come home from deployment. I would need 3 Adult and 1 child 4 day Park Hopper Disney World Orlando tickets for: My spouse, myself, son (11 years old) and son (5 years old) We would arrive on 20 May thru 25 May 2012. Thank you so very much if you answer our wish. |

Disney World Family Adventure
My name is SSG Patrick Hughes with the Tennessee Army National Guard currently serving on my second deployment in 3 years. I have 3 little boys ages 4, and twins who are 2. I have missed so much time with them over the past 3 years and my Hero's wish is that I would love to take them to Disney World when I return from this deployment. To be able to spend 4-5 days seeing their little faces light up when they see Donald, Goofy, and of course Mickey Mouse would truly be a blessing. I would need 5 tickets for my wife, myself, and my 3 little boys. Thank you all so much for everything you do for us and God Bless. |

Cubs Tickets
Hi, I'm a proud husband and father to 5 great kids (4 girls and a boy..I know I know) who take turns driving my wife crazy and helping to keep her sane while I'm deployed. I grew up near Wrigley Field, and I have great memories of walking to the park, listening to the band play outside, smelling the hot dogs and beer, and listening to the crowd. I was outside the stadium for the first night game (8/8/1988), at least until it rained and changed the official night game until the following night. Due to our military committments over the past 18 years, I've been unable to take the kids to a game. My son was born on 8/8/2008, and I was sure that was an omen that the Cubs were going to win the World Series! That didn't happen, but I'd love to take my son (and the rest of the family of course) to their first Cubs game when I return from deployment, and that will be the year when the Cubbies finally win the World Series! |

Disneyworld with the family
Since being home I have not had a lot of opportunity to do something special with my wife and children. My youngest son's Birthday is coming up and he has always wanted to go to Disneyworld in Orlando Fl. I am unable to afford these tickets as I can not work due to my disabilities. I have family that lives down there that would let us stay with them. So, my Hero's wish is for 6 Disneyworld Park Hopper tickets to take my son and the rest of my family to the most fun place on earth. That would mean so much to my wife and I to surprise the kids with that. Anyway Thank you for this opportunity to even have a chance at this! |

One Last Concert - Celine Dion in Las Vegas
Hello, My name is SGT Matthew Hite. My wife and I are a dual military family with a 6 year old son. We have been together for (4) years and married now for almost one year. I am headed out on my 3rd deployment in May and my wife is a huge Celine Dion fan. You could say she is my wife's idol. Due to financial hardships it hasn’t been possible for me to surprise her with tickets to see Celine in concert. My wife and I do not get a lot of time together and with this 3rd deployment approaching fast, it is a very stressful time...an emotional roller coaster.
If I could have one wish granted it would be to take my wife to see Celine Dion Concert in concert at Caesar’s Las Vegas. Thank you for considering my Hero’s Wish! |

Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert
I was injured in Iraq July 2004 I lost the use of my hand by a IED. When I was in Iraq I promised myself I would attend my favorite group of all time, which is the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They had a huge impact to me in my tour in Iraq and with my recovery. Due to recent changes in my health I am now getting amputated in 2 to 3 months I would like to go see them before I go into surgery. My Hero's wish is that I would like to attend any Chili Peppers concert in Texas area. |

Packers Tickets For my Father, Vietnam Veteran
My dad is a Vietnam Veteran and my wish is to take him to go to a Green Bay Packer game at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. If there is any way to get tickets to see any game, especially if they are playing the Chicago Bears or the Minnesota Vikings. (Nov. 14th, 2011 07:30 PM) would be the best. I would love to go with him, my brother is a huge Packer fan as well and my mom would just want to go because we are going! I am currently on active duty, living and working in Arlington, VA. So I will have to take leave to go home, but this would be so memorable for my entire family. |
