A Purple Heart recipient, mom, and Marine reservist works to provide housing for veterans wounded in action

Tonight we continue military month on Grace in 30 with a focus on moms in the military and a special organization that helps provide housing to veterans who were disabled while serving our country. Samantha Christopher served two tours of duty in Afghanistan at the same time as her future husband, Benjamin. Both of them were injured in IED attacks and awarded Purple Hearts. After returning home, marrying, and starting a family, they came across Purple Heart Homes as they searched for a place of their own. The help that Purple Heart Homes provided to them made such an impact that Sam joined them as a Board member and is committed to the work of “veterans helping veterans.” Sam joins us to talk about her experiences in Afghanistan, being a mom in the Marines, and her work with Purple Heart Homes.

If you are connected in any way with a veteran who is struggling, offer your ear and support.

Being a mom and a Marine strengthens your commitment to your fellow Marines.
