Sister Starts Non Profit to Honor Her Late Military Brother
- 9 years ago
In just a few short days, the country will be washing down their patio furniture and lighting up their grills for Memorial Day, the official start of the summer season! Memorial Day is also the perfect opportunity to honor the sacrifices of the men and women who have fought and given their lives for the sake of our freedoms.
Tara Baldwin, however, has taken this sentiment one step further. When her brother, Aaron Carson Vaughn, was shot down in 2011 during a mission in Afghanistan, sadly, his two children were left without their father. To honor the ultimate sacrifice of her niece and nephew, and the thousands of children like them, she founded Operation 300, a non-profit organization that provides children who have lost their fathers in military combat opportunities to camp, hike, play sports and do the fun things they would have done with their own dads with other supportive role models. Nothing can replace what they lost, but love, family and fun are some of lives best remedies!
If you would like to learn more about Operation 300 and the support they provide children who have sacrificed their own fathers for our safety, check out their website, or follow them of Facebook and Twitter.
