Parenting in Service

Season 2 Episode 1 | 54m 39s

Over 40% of service members have children. When service before self is the military mantra, the family’s needs often come second to Uncle Sam. Stacy Pearsall, retired Air Force Staff Sergeant, sits down with Bill Brokop, Hannah Merchant and Coco Gunther, three veterans who balanced the needs of a nation with the needs of the family during and after action.

Aired: 04/30/24 | Expires: 07/31/25
Support for this program was provided in part by Kloo and David Vipperman, Barbara Kucharczyk and Robert M. Rainey.
