Aaron Toppen lost his life on Monday, June 9,2014 in Iraq.  He was one of five American soliders who were on a Special Opps Mission when they were bombed by friendly fire.  The money donated here will assist the family as they prepare to bury a son, brother, nephew, grandson, boyfriend and an American Hero.  We are free today because of soliders like Aaron.

Aaron was a 19 year old young man from Mokena Illinois who, as a young boy, yearned to be an American Solider.  One month before Aaron left for Iraq he lost his father.  So many tragic events for the Toppen family.
