Deployment can be a difficult time for our nation’s service members. Separation from friends and family is trying, particularly during the holidays. One United States Navy spouse is sacrificing her own Christmas to spend the holidays at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, spreading holiday cheer for those who are stationed there and helping them cope with being so far from family.
Katrina Gonzalez is a 19-year Navy spouse and mother of three from Little Rock, Arkansas. As a program manager for the American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces, she arrived in Kuwait in July for a six-month deployment knowing she would be away from her family during the holidays.
