Welcome

Michigan Military Moms is a support group for moms with sons and daughters serving in the United States military (not to be confused with Moms serving in the military).

All of our efforts focus on the support of each other and our children in the military. We support one another in our joys and our sorrows, with a level of understanding that can only be found among other Moms whose children are or have served in the military.

Besides the socializing and networking that take place at every meeting, we also participate in activities like the following:

  • Packaging meetings for our troops.
  • Crafting meetings to create items for our troops.
  • The arranging of guest speakers knowledgeable in the needs of our military children and their family members.
  • Activities organized by other groups that support our troops and/or veterans of the U.S. military.
  • Holiday parades and other civic events.

All of our meetings and all of our activities are based in love, support, pride and friendship for our children and for each other.

A Military Mother's Prayer Print E-mail

Dear Lord,

Give me the greatness of heart to see
the difference between a mother's love and duty to country.

Give me understanding that I may know
when duty calls them they must go.

Give me a task to do each day
to fill my thoughts when they're away.

And Lord, when they're in a foreign land
keep them safe in your loving hand.

And Lord, when duty is in the field
please protect them and be their shield.

And Lord, when deployment is so long
please give me the support to remain strong.

Amen
