When the Fort Bliss Army base in El Paso opened a lactation room, the woman who is now a photographer, gathered ten mothers breastfeeding in uniform to celebrate!

The photo went viral when she posted it on Thursday with the hashtag #normalizebreastfeeding. The photo went viral, shared more than 4,000 times within 23 hours.
