OPERATION Hug-A-Hero appeared on WTKF Coastal Daybreak at 8:30 AM on April 30, 2009.

This was a very good interview and featured Tricia Dyal Founder of Daddy Dolls and Operation Hug-A-Hero and Jean Hislop Executive Administrator for Operation Hug-A-Hero. Tricia talks about how Daddy Dolls were initially created, and the impact and comfort that they provide for the children of deployed military moms and dads.
Jean also commented about the fact that not only deployed military family members can take advantage, but also many family members of deployed contractors that serve right along side our troops, in Iraq, Afghanistan and other remote locations around the globe.
