One of our favorite military support organizations, Soldiers' Anglels will host America's largest military baby shower on October 10 in Las Vegas for 32 new and expectant mothers who have deployed partners or are active-duty servicewomen. Sponsored by Operation Top Knot, the surprise event will include gifts from the local community and flowers from expectant fathers.
Soldiers' Angels project team Operation Top Knot is a nationwide network of individuals who use their talents to support infants and expectant mothers of military families. Dedicated volunteers knit, crochet, sew, quilt, and design blankets, baby clothes and other homemade gifts. They also assemble and deliver or ship gift baskets for mother and child. Additionally, they help deployed fathers celebrate by sending them "It's a Boy!" or "It's a Girl!" bubblegum cigars. The shower will be held on October 10 at the Nevada National Guard Armory in Las Vegas, 6400 Range Road, from 1 p.m. to 3 pm. The press is welcome to attend, and no permission from Public Affairs is needed. Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing aid and comfort to America's military men and women, as well as veterans and military families.
