In this important episode of The Lasting Mission Podcast, MRC’s Britt Myers sits down with Katt Whittenberger, founder and executive director of Mountain Valor - an unwavering VSO (veteran service organization) advocating for rural Virginia veterans, empowering them to overcome challenges and thrive in their communities through multiple outlets.
In this installment, Katt details her mission to serve an all to often forgotten sect of forgotten veteran; those living in rural America with little access to the resources they have fought for and earned through honorable service.
“An Admiral once told me that “no” was never a final answer unless he was the one who said it. I was a very junior Sailor then - and it blew my mind that he was practically admitting the easy answer is usually the one that actually halts all progress. That was one of those key moments that showed me there was always a way to get to yes.” -Katt Whittenberger
