"YUKON — A Yukon mother wants to be sure mothers of Oklahoma guardsmen across the state know how appreciated they are this Mother's Day.
Pam Hilliard is collecting donations to buy a gift for the guardsmen's mothers throughout the state.
About 2,600 Oklahoma guardsmen are deployed overseas, Hilliard said, so she expects she'll need about that many gifts. She's collected enough money for about 90 gifts.
The American Legion is collecting the money, so donations are tax-deductible, Hilliard said.
The gifts are distributed by family readiness groups and the Blue Star Mothers."
