About this listen

Coleen recounts growing up as a military brat in Germany, building a life in Korea, and the painful experience after her retired father’s death when expected military support and benefits did not materialize.

The episode explores gaps in veteran and retiree services, the emotional aftermath for families, cultural shocks of living abroad, and the importance of community support when institutions fall short.
