Thanks, Mom!
Operation: MOM has been activated to send care packages to U.S. troops around
the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan. The group has sent more than 15,000
packages, which are filled with snacks, toiletries, disposable cameras, and
more.
Operation: MOM was started by Dotty Selmeczki with her friend Gloria Godchaux when Godchaux’s son left for active duty in the Marine Corps after Sept. 11.
The support group, with 150 members in four states, representing all the services, meets monthly so members can share feelings about loved ones stationed overseas and offer each other encouragement.
“We have to keep ourselves emotionally, mentally, and physically healthy to support our kids,” says Selmeczki. Visit www.operationmom.org.
