200 Military Moms Honored on Mother's Day

Two hundred military moms from Camp Pendleton were honored on Mother’s Day with a special brunch held at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. “Feels good to be with my husband and my children on Mother’s Day,” military mom Sonia Torres told NBC 7. “We always think about those military moms that don’t have their husbands here and have to celebrate by themselves, so we’re just happy that the Sheraton Carlsbad is hosting us at this great event.” OPD Looking for Man of Interest in Home Invasion Attack Sunday was the 11th annual military mom brunch put on by the Sheraton to honor active duty mothers and military spouses and their families.Organizers say many civilians don’t realize that it’s the whole family that serves, and they wanted to give back to their neighbors right next door at Camp Pendleton.
