This month is the 35th anniversary of the Month of the Military Child and I sat down with the CEO of Blue Star Families Kathy Roth-Douquet and joined with Justin Schmitt from USAA, to talk about the unique challenges military dads (and moms!) and their kids face when a parent is on active duty, as well as resources available to everyone.

Topics Covered:

• 30 Million Dollar Relief fund for military members
• Job losses for military spouses
• Stories from military families
• How has the effort to connect military families changed since COVID
• Silver lines from COVID to help grow stronger
• Helping the military understand service members have a family
