I was lucky enough, and honored to help Operation Shower with their group shower at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Va. As a volunteer, I witnessed the passion of the OS team, as well as the appreciation from the mothers receiving gifts for their babies. The specific needs that Operation Shower supports is unprecedented. So many military mothers-to-be are away from family and friends, and don't get the support in the way of traditional showers, during their pregnancy. Operation Shower helps fill this void both emotionally and physically with their group showers, and "showers-in-a-box."
