SATN Episode 366 with Karen Hamilton

Karen Hamilton is a dedicated Christian, military wife, and homeschool mom of three and small business owner. 
​Karen's early life was shaped by the strong faith of her parents who served for many years as Christian missionaries. The youngest of 3, Karen grew up trying to keep up with her older brothers who made sure she was tough! Karen went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. 
Upon graduating, she began work as a Structural Engineer. Later, she married her husband, Cameron Hamilton, and moved to Virginia Beach where he served as a Navy SEAL and Combat Medic. After welcoming their first child, Karen left her career in engineering to fully devote herself to being a wife and mother. 
As a mother to 3 children, Karen is inspired by the wise words of President Reagan, which remind us that the preservation of our individual liberty requires intentional action and sacrifice. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction," Reagan said. "We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same..." As the wife of a combat veteran, she understands the high cost of freedom.  
Karen felt called to homeschool her children and provide the support their family needed at home while her husband was often deployed. Her husband is currently serving in the Trump Administration. Despite this, they consider themselves blessed to call the northern Piedmont region of Virginia "home" since 2016.
In her spare time, Karen has enjoyed coaching, teaching and being politically active. She also leads a women's Bible study and enjoys the peace of her small farm in Orange, Virginia with her many animals!
