Family of slain Navy SEAL starts kids camp in his honor

Elite Navy SEAL, Aaron Carson Vaughn, was killed August 6, 2011 when a Chinook chopper carrying 30 American troops was shot down in Afghanistan.

In their grief and with a desire to do something that would honor Aaron's legacy, his family chose to start Operation 300. 

Operation 300 is a non-profit foundation designed to create a week long experience for children who have lost their fathers as a result of service to our country.

The camp will provide an opportunity to participate in activities that embody the spirit of adventure that characterized the lives of their absent fathers while fostering a culture of courage, strength, freedom, endurance, honor and godly morality embodied by fearless patriots throughout the history of our American Republic.

Follow the story with Mike as he interviews Tara Baldwin and Billy Vaughn, Aaron's sister and father, about how you can help. Listen here
