Episode 23: Military Wives

Veterans Day is around the corner. We thank our servicemen and women for their sacrifice and dedication to our country. We can imagine being a military spouse can be a life of constant change and isolation. Having a partner on deployment can be saddening and disruptive to a natural routine. We have a military mom and spouse in our studio to discuss her daily routine.
