Watch the video on the AWP site to learn about these brave young women and the sacrifices they and their families have made due to the current conflicts overseas. These are young women and some with very young children as well as older women whose husbands have been in the armed forces as a career. These women and their families have to face life without their husbands and fathers. They need the strong support of their communities and of their nation, now, more than ever.Our other sponsor is Operation Feed right here in Central Ohio.
