Operation Special Delivery (or OSD), provides trained volunteer doulas for pregnant women whose husbands or partners have been severely injured or who have lost their lives due to the current war on terror, or who will be deployed at the time that they are due to give birth.

What is a doula?  A doula is specially trained to give informational, emotional, and physical support to women during childbirth.  A doula does not perform medical tasks, but is trained to provide uninterrupted support to a mother in labor.

Why military moms?  Because OSD believes that no one should give birth without support, especially the women who are giving birth while these fathers are making such a great sacrifice for our country and our freedom.  We just want to try to give back in appreciation.
