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.
