Welcome to another empowering episode of Army Wife Talk Radio! Today, as we recognize Gold Star Spouses Day, Krista Simpson Anderson talks about why it’s so important to know your resources before you need them. She will share about her journey as an Army spouse, the lessons she has learned along the way, what is important to her, and why. As the Military Spouse Ambassador for Army Emergency Relief, she shares how this incredible resource can help Army families and talks about their most recent exciting partnership with Military Spouse Advocacy Network.

Due to Krista’s dedicated service to the military community, she was recognized as the Armed Forces Insurance 2018 Army Spouse of the Year and overall AFI 2018 Military Spouse of the Year, as well as the 2019 Green Beret Foundation Keeper of the Brave. Krista believes tragedy does not need to end our story but provides the opportunity to create a new chapter with greater purpose.
