On behalf of Cpl. Michael & Allison Martins and both their entire families, I would like to thank you for this great organization.

Hello, my name is Maria Martins and I'm the proud parent of Cpl. Michael Martins, and the reason I'm writing you today is because my son was married to his new bride Allison Lee on May 12th 2007. Their wedding was on Ft. Myers Beach, where Capt. Orin Opperman performed the ceremony and his wife Capt. Margarita was the photographer. On such a short notice both of them were able to take care of things for Michael and Allison.

Michael was serving in Iraq for one year, came back to the states where he is based at Camp Pendleton, San Diego, California, shortly after a wedding was being planned. Services rendered were given to them at a discounted price for being military. Thanks to Blue Moon Weddings our children have great memories of their wedding day to last a lifetime.

We're so thankful for Operation Open Arms, this is the second time we've called on this organization and would highly recommend it to all our military personnel. As parents, you have also touched our families hearts with your acts of kindness. I am so grateful for all the members that have signed on with OOA.

Attached are pictures of the beautiful wedding ceremony with all our families. Again, thank you so much for everything, all your hard work.

A truly happy mother, Maria Martins
