The perfect gifts for Mother’s Day, #CallMom, 5G at Alley and we’re best for Vets.

First, we're in NYC for the Smart Cities NY conference and Lani Ingram, who leads our Smart Cities team, participated in a panel discussion at the event. Second, we are getting ready for Mother's Day and share great deals and also, quotes from Verizon Moms. Plus, we're encouraging people to #CallMom this weekend (share from your mobile device: Facebook, Twitter).

Next, a look back at a story about how our network connected four lost friends, a trip to the Alley earlier in the week and a visit from our Oath brands in Basking Ridge.

Also, we continue to celebrate Military Appreciation Month.
