Ty's Take

Mother's Day hits different in a military town. You've got a guy like Javier Sanchez taking time to say it plain—that his mother shaped who he is—while over at Holloman, families are getting reunited around a holiday that's really about showing up for the people who held things together when deployment, duty, and distance tried their best to pull families apart.

In Alamogordo, Mother's Day is never just a Sunday in May.
