In recognition of Mother’s Day, we are celebrating military moms!

Corporal Genevieve Lapointe, Imagery Technician at the Combat Training Center in Gagetown, New Brunswick, ran a photography project with proud military moms. Here is how she described the project:

“I’ve always wanted to do this project. I wanted to show the pride and beauty of being a military mom. I am very proud to be part of the great Canadian Forces family, and I love that my daughter sees me heading out with a great smile on my face every morning… Also, as mothers, we have lots of photos of our kids and our husbands, but we often neglect ourselves and have very few mementos of ourselves with our kids, aside from some selfies and snapchat photos… I wanted to give these moms a beautiful souvenir of themselves in uniform!”

Are you celebrating the military mom in your life this weekend? Send your photos to Internal Communications, and we might include them in our gallery!

Happy Mother’s Day!
