To recognize the moms who always manage to put their families first through all the challenges of a military lifestyle, Operation Homefront and CinCHouse.com are accepting nominations for their inaugural Military Motherhood Award.
The winning mom will be awarded $5,000 and flown to Washington, D.C. for a May 8 awards ceremony. The event will be co-hosted by California Congresswoman Susan Davis and Sen. Mel Martinez from Florida, both members of Operation Homefront’s Congressional Advisory Board.
Sponsored by Lockheed Martin, this essay contest pays tribute to military wives and women in uniform with children. It’s a celebration of their triumphs and a chance to honor their sacrifices as they support their country and their families. The Army Times Publishing Company is also supporting the event through their various publications with efforts to encourage service members to nominate their spouse.
Nominations to the Military Motherhood Award will be accepted on CinCHouse.com through the month of March. Anyone may nominate their spouse, a friend or themselves. Operation Homefront will then select the top 20 nominations and allow the CinCHouse community to vote for the top five. Our panel of judges will then select the winner.
