When babies are born to deployed troops, it's doubly hard for both mom and dad. The dad must wait weeks or months to meet his newest child. The mom has responsibilities of both parents, juggling the exhausting care of a newborn while meeting the needs of other children without the help of her husband. It's a sacrifice, and one that military families make every single day. Operation Marine Corps Kids is an effort designed to support the quiet heroines of this war and the littlest heroes - the kids that miss their daddies.
