In this moving episode of Oscar Mike Radio, recorded live at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s 10th Annual Convening in Washington, D.C., I sit down with U.S. Army Veteran and caregiver Heidi Munro. Her daughter, Vanessa, an Army officer, sustained a traumatic brain injury while on active duty, a moment that changed both of their lives.
Heidi opens up about navigating the complexities of military healthcare, the emotional weight of caregiving, and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation community that helped carry herthrough it all. Her story highlights the unseen strength of military caregivers and underscores the urgent need for expanded resources and recognition for these unsung heroes.
This episode powerfully reminds us of the resilience within military families and the importance of building systems of support.

Thank you, Heidi, for your courage and for sharing your story.
