When we think about our armed forces and the sacrifices they make, we probably don't think about this: 72,682 are mothers.
These active-duty moms serve in every branch, at home and overseas, on land and at sea, in nearly every military specialty. Since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, 212,000 women have been deployed there and to Afghanistan, thousands of whom have children back home.
A very happy Mother's Day to our proud Moms in uniform and Moms with sons and daughters who are serving our country.
All of you Moms are so special and we owe you a huge thank you for your courage.
God Bless You All! And next year I hope you and your kids are together to celebrate with lots of hugs and kisses.
