PRESENTED BY DEAR CIRCLE
The Military Moms
Letter Project
For the moms behind the service members.
Military moms spend years cheering from the sidelines, carrying worry quietly, celebrating milestones from afar, and loving someone whose service can mean distance, missed moments, and time apart.
And during the holidays, that distance can feel a little greater.
A tradition may look different. There may be an empty place at the table. Or it may simply be another December spent missing someone serving far from home.
That's why this December, Dear Circle is bringing people together to send something small but tangible:
a letter reminding a military mom that she is seen.
