As a military spouse for 20 years, it hits me in the feels when those not directly connected to the military notice what’s happening in our community. I’m so glad memoirs like Alive Day have crossed over into mainstream because even tho 99% don’t serve, this is still America’s military. We all shape its funding and its usage in how we vote. I think it’s important for these stories to be told so citizens understand the impacts that high-level decisions have on the families at the bottom. All this to say, thanks for writing this!
Thank you Peyton. My husband is a Navy vet but it was a long time ago for him. My niece was career military, just retired as an Air Force Colonel. My older brother was Ay during Vietnam but post in Germany. And my father and uncles were all WWII vets.
Hi Stephanie, I heard your interview on Substack and found you authentic and refreshing. I am a memoir writer in Carlsbad and would love to meet for coffee. Vickibwrites@gmail.com

Okay my bad that’s a lot of military connections! Thanks for using your platform to highlight the military community ❤️
Ditto this! (Thanks for saying that, Peyton.)
