Episode 1: Silent Service: The Stories We Don’t Hear

In this episode of Welcome Home, we sit down with Sarah, the daughter of a Marine who deployed multiple times in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Through her eyes, we experience the weight of long separations, the joy of homecomings, and the enduring strength of military families.

Sarah opens up about the moment her father told her he was deploying again, the small rituals that kept their bond alive across oceans, and the lessons she carries today as an advocate for military-connected children. Her story is a reminder that service doesn’t belong to one person alone—it ripples through entire families, shaping lives in ways both challenging and profound.

By sharing Sarah’s journey, this episode honors not only those who wear the uniform but also those who stand beside them, carrying resilience, love, and hope through every season of service.
