Washington Commanders help host baby shower for military moms

Commanders spent this Veterans Day giving back to 25 military moms to be the team partnering with the non-profit Operation Shower for a special day of treats. Fox 5 photojournalist John Finley has this story from Landover. Operation Shower, and we're here today at Northwest Stadium with the Washington Commanders and PepsiCo throwing a big group baby shower for 25 military families. Take the top. Thank you. Every mom will get our signature shower in a box. It's got handmade items for people who make things all across the country. It's got diaper bags and books and toys and diapers and feeding items. And then every mom will walk away with some of our Everyone Gets One Oprah moment. That is cute. I was not expecting that many gifts. I felt very special. I was like, wow. I don't know. I can't put it into words. It was very special. It feels amazing. Actually, I've been super emotional this whole time. I was not expecting all of this. No, I thought maybe like a couple of little things, but this is just, this is way beyond what we thought we were getting. It's just really nice to be recognized as a military woman and pregnant and everything, so it's just nice to get that recognition. A lot of people in the military don't have children, so they just don't understand. They've never had that experience, so they don't understand. I understand. What goes into that, and how much it affects women, especially being in the service. Oh, get it! I want to be a big brother that can help a lot of babies, try to help my mom, do a lot of stuff, and do my best. Baby food. Diaper. Everybody hands go. To see that I'm not alone and to be able to celebrate it with other moms who are going through the same things I am and experiencing the same thing I am, it's been wonderful.
