OCS Connect: Through the Eyes of Those Who Built It
This month’s podcast, OCS Connect: Through the Eyes of Those Who Built It, brings together long-time volunteers who have been part of both Our Community Salutes and OCS Connect from the beginning. Through an open and authentic conversation, we reflect on the foundation that shaped OCS Connect, the relationships built through years of service, and the continued commitment to supporting military families through every stage of their journey.
In this episode, we discuss:
How each guest first connected to Our Community Salutes, OCS Connect, or both
What inspired them to stay committed over the years
What they saw families needed that helped lead to the creation of OCS Connect
Why the first 12 months of military life remain such a critical time for families
What makes OCS Connect a meaningful and trusted source of support today
Our guests also share personal reflections on the heart behind this work and why serving military families continues to matter. Their stories offer a deeper look at the mission, values, and community that have shaped OCS Connect from the start.
Join us on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT, for an informative and supportive conversation.
