She has received numerous awards\, including Volunteer of the Year\, the Essayons Award\, Department of Defense Outstanding Civilian Service Award\, and the V Corps Soaring Eagle Award for her contributions and volunteer service to military families around the world.

Military spouses\, children\, parents\, and service members transparently share both everyday and extraordinary moments of their lives with the hope that their stories will inspire and encourage other military families. The wide menu of topics ranges from friendship and romance\, to careers and finances\, deployment\, reunion\, changing schools\, and coping with combat injury\, PTSD\, grief\, and much more. The collection first and foremost supports military families by offering a friend at the table who’s been through similar circumstances\, offering perspective\, ideas\, and hope. \nBut these stories appeal to everyone\, military and nonmilitary alike. So this book also can help bridge understanding within civilian communities. The best way to connect with others is by sharing stories. Stories Around the Table is a catalyst for conversation among neighbors\, to find commonalities and to better understand the unique challenges of military life. \nPentagon guests are asked to please note: only 150 books will be available for sale at this event.
