Operation MOM To Fly U.S. Flag From Iraq In Saturday's Parade

Sonora, CA -- Operation MOM will be flying a flag presented to the group by Captain Doheny, Headquarters Company, Regimental Combat Team 1 in Iraq in Saturday's Mother Lode Round Up Parade.

Co-Chair Pat Padavana has received a flag that flew in Iraq and a certificate of appreciation for the support Operation MOM has shown military personnel in Iraq.

Padavana feels the flag and the citation are really a "thank you" to all of those who have donated items to Operation MOM in behalf of U.S. Troops. 88 boxes of "goodies" from Tuolumne County were recently sent to Doheny's Marines.

Operation MOM sends clothing, toiletry items, CD's, DVD, hard candies and other non-perishables to military personnel on a regular basis. The group also accepts cash donations that are utilized for postage.

Operation MOM's will be entry #54 in tomorrow's parade which starts at 10am.
