Operation Once in a Lifetime was recently selected to ring in NASDAQ on December 27th in New York City. See the video.

Operation Once in a Lifetime originally was going to just do an unveiling of its biggest dream yet by introducing the world to the V-Rex Center (a multimillion dollar recreational therapeutic and rehabilitation center for our troops and veterans) but we went to our roots and rang in the opening bell the only way we knew how — by granting a wish for Captain Jeremy Linn, who suffers from stage 4 cancer, by providing him and his wife with a trip to New York and to participate in the bell ringing. Furthermore, we had something else up our sleeves: granting Captain Linn’s ultimate wish and surprising him and his wife with a trip to Hawaii. Captain Linn had a bucket list and OOIAL was able to grant three of his wishes on that list — a trip to New York City, a tropical vacation and a ride in a super car.

Operation Once in a Lifetime makes some holiday dreams come true by taking a group of military families to the American Girl Doll Store for a Once in a Lifetime shopping spree.
