With the guidance and direction of Gunny Bob from 850 KOA in Denver, Operation Cancun Honeymoon has raised over $7000 in less than a month! At the Third Annual National MarineParents.com Conference, Corporal Aaron Mankin was a guest speaker. It was decided at that time to raise the necessary funds to send the Corporal and his wife Diane on their honeymoon!

Corporal Aaron Mankin, a Marine journalist was seriously injured when the assault vehicle he was riding it was destroyed by an improvised explosive device (IED). 16 Marines were thrown from the vehicle. Six were killed instantly and Cpl. Mankin nearly made unlucky number seven. His entire body had been horribly burned. This young marine is fortunate to be alive. He came home to his wife and 15 month old daughter.

Unfortunately, Cpl. Mankin's wife, who was also a marine, and he never had the opportunity to take a honeymoon due to their obligations. Operation Cancun Honeymoon to the rescue! Gunny Bob learned of Cpl. Mankin's story and met the young Marine at the Marine Parents National Conference in Washington, D.C. They Gunny knew his audience would want to send Cpl. Mankin and his wife on the honeymoon they never had. You, the Gunny and Marine Parents are going to send Cpl. and Mrs. Mankin on an all-expense-paid first-class honeymoon to sunny, warm Cancun.
