About a month ago, Patti Patton-Bader's son, Brandon, nominated her to be "America's Favorite Mom," a national contest sponsored by Teleflora and NBC. We have just received word that Patti is among the top fifteen finalists and all of them will be appearing on the NBC Today Show between May 5-9. Patti will be on Monday May 5th.

Patti, of course, is the founder of Soldiers Angels.

I encourage you to view the TV show and join me in feeling good about Patti and all that Soldiers' Angels has accomplished in just five years. For so many of you who are mothers yourselves, I don't need to tell you that the inspiration and driving force of Soldiers' Angels has always been thousands of mothers caring for their own and others' children. All of the fifteen finalists are exemplary women who deserve the recognition and it is kind of crazy to be choosing one - each is special and more than deserving of the recognition.

So, please take a look at the website www.americasfavoritemom.com - you will certainly enjoy seeing the bios of all of the finalists, and watch NBC's Today Show on Monday May 5th.
