No Uniform Required: How Community Builds Veteran Strength

DESCRIPTION: You don’t have to be a veteran to change a veteran’s life. In this episode, Katt Whittenberger, Executive Director of Mountain Valor, shares how everyday community members—from librarians to farmers—are stepping up to support rural veterans in powerful ways. We’ll explore why connection matters, how isolation impacts those who served, and what you can do to help… no uniform required. Whether you’re a caregiver, a neighbor, or just someone who wants to make a difference, this episode is for you. Mountain Valor Fest is coming up on September 13!
