All Moms Are Special, Some Get Special Recognition

By Alan Gray, NewsBlaze

About a month ago, a young man I know - Brandon - nominated his mother, Patti, to be "America's Favorite Mom," a national contest sponsored by Teleflora and NBC.

Patti is now among the top fifteen finalists and all fifteen will appear on the NBC Today Show between May 5-9. Patti will be there on Monday May 5th.

On Mother's Day (May 11), the NBC prime-time special is to be hosted by Donny & Marie Osmond as they feature the winner, to be crowned "America's Favorite Mom." Results are determined by how many votes are received.

Patti is the proud mother of three loving children, including two young soldiers - one served in Iraq and another is currently deployed. Brandon's deployment inspired Patti to start Soldiers' Angels, a special organization that does good work for military men and women and their families.

This will be a great TV show to watch, to feel good about Patti and all that Soldiers' Angels has accomplished in just five years. Although Patti started Soldiers' Angels and is still the main driver, the inspiration and driving force of Soldiers' Angels has always been thousands of mothers caring for their own and others' children.

All fifteen finalists are exemplary women who deserve the recognition and it will be very difficult choosing just one, because each is special and more than deserving of the recognition.

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