In 2002, Mary Moreno’s life changed forever in ways she could not imagine. “My 18-year-old son came to us and told us he was going to join the Marines. My husband said to him, ‘Kenny, we can’t even get you to mow the yard.’”
Today, Ms. Moreno is the dynamo running Military Moms and Wives of Brazoria County, based in Angleton, Texas, about an hour’s drive from Houston. Over the past 21 years, she and her volunteers have sent more than 500,000 care packages to soldiers stationed far from home and family. But before all that came together, she went through a personal hell.
