PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — The Players Championship brings an annual event honoring local military mothers.
For months at a time, military wives live without their husbands, who are are away serving the country.
“There's been a few rough times where I felt like I was just a single mom and nobody was really there for me and you have to do it by yourself,” said Allison Paragon, a military wife and mother.
Paragon is pregnant with her second baby. Her husband has been deployed for months.
With a baby girl on the way, she couldn't be happier that The Player and several sponsors showered nearly 40 future and new mothers with gifts.
