Autorenporträt
Karen Vaughn is the mother of fallen US Navy SEAL, Aaron Carson Vaughn (SEAL Team VI). On August 6, 2011, Aaron was killed in action in the Tangi River Valley of Afghanistan when a chopper (call sign Extortion 17) carrying thirty Americans was shot from the sky while rushing into battle. The day Aaron's life ended Karen's began again.
 Over the past five years, Karen has emerged on the national scene as a powerful spokeswoman for not only our defenders still fighting on foreign soil and securing peace across the globe, but also as an advocate for a better, stronger, more resilient America. 
Carrying on Aaron's legacy has brought this Gold Star mother through the halls of Congress, into a National Press Conference, onto multiple national television sets and dozens of radio programs. She's been featured on large stages across this country as a keynote speaker, including a guest speaker position during the opening night of the 2016 Republican National Convention.
 Karen has been married to Billy Vaughn for thirty-seven years and still believes their greatest accomplishment on earth was raising their three children: Aaron, Tara, and Ana.
