There are several organizations that support deployed troops. But who supports those left behind? KNCO talked to Dee Rein of Operation Mom, a local organization that gets together twice a month to not only support their loved ones with care packages, but support each other.
“We have a support meeting where everyone who wishes to share news about their loved one that is deployed can do that. We go around the room and introduce everyone.”
Rein says that Operation Mom is not just for those that are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan; it's for all those who are far from home.
“Not just in Iraq or Afghanistan but if you have a loved on in Uzbekistan or Germany or Okinawa, and you want us to support them with our touch of home care packages every month, then Operation Mom meets every month on the third Tuesday in Colfax at the Veteran’s Hall where we assemble these touch of home care packages for our troops.”
