all they do at home that enables their spouses to proudly serve our country. We want them to know how much they are loved and appreciated, and provide them with an opportunity to celebrate this special milestone together.” The shower included lunch, prize giveaways and an opportunity for the honorees to share camaraderie and gain support from other military moms in the same situation. The highlight of the event was the presentation of Operation Shower’s signature “Shower In A Box.” Each mom received a box containing an array of unique, high-quality products and gift items for mothers and babies that were generously donated by companies including Carousel Designs, Kids ii and Chicco. The gifts will go a long way toward raising the spirits of the moms-to-be, many of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience a baby shower. “We are honored to express our gratitude and support to these extraordinary military moms-tobe, whose service and sacrifice at home deserve to be recognized,” said Acosta Sales & Marketing Chief Human Resources Officer Rebecca Steele. “In the military, families serve, too; it is because of the strength, courage and perseverance of these amazing women that their military spouses are able to defend our freedom and help ensure all Americans enjoy a quality of life unmatched around the world.” To find out more about how you can support Operation Shower, visit their website at www. operationshower.org
