Operation Mend, a group that helps severely wounded soldiers, has helped a former Marine named Aaron Mankin.  He has inspired many people, and overcome so much in his life already.  On May 11, 2005 Aaron's life changed forever when his platoon in Iraq ran over an IED killing four, and injuring eleven.  Different parts of his body were severely damaged; his mouth, nose, ears, and part of his cheeks, and his fingers.  He was the very first patient for Operation Mend in 2007.  After 65 surgeries, and 8 1/2 years of recovery, he's looks great.  He is so thankful, and says "He never though I would look this good."  He uses his story to inspire others, and is doing a good job.  Aaron has significantly inspired the family of William and Christina Geist, and that's why they started Operation Mend.
