Policy Conference Videos and Information
All these thoughts went through my head like ‘I may

emotional to have a child go into a combat zone. I knew that my son was
out there in a humvee or on foot patrol. I had the chance to go to
Israel with a delegation representing various American veterans groups. I
was able to go to the factories where Israelis are manufacturing some
of the technology like interactive armor and specialized tiles for the
tanks that protect our children—our soldiers—when there is an explosion.

allowed me to come home to the U.S., and share that hope with other military mothers.
