Military families are far from the average American family.

While on active duty, families learn resilience, resourcefulness, time management, organizational skills, flexibility, delayed gratification and, of course, how to establish a new normal after every PCS.

These are all of the traits that show host Jen Amos (Connect on LinkedIn) has acquired as a military child and now attributes to the work she does as a Gold Star daughter, a Veteran Spouse, and an advocate for military families.

Our hope for Holding Down the Fort is to do our part to make the lives of the active duty military spouse’s life easier by curating knowledge, resources and relevant stories so you can continue to make confident and informed decisions for your family. Because let’s face it, we know who’s really “holding down the fort!”
