Unit 17 also recently contributed to the 1st Veterans' Baby Shower at Mountain Home and provided the 22 female veterans who came with a variety of baby items. One husband came whose wife had just had their baby the night before! The mothers and mothers-to-be are all having or have had babies in 2019 and this was just the first such celebration that the DAVA will be doing for our female veterans.
