Be it the change in the season, finally settling into a new duty station, or preparing for time off over the Thanksgiving holiday to spend quality time with friends and family— this time of year brings about a sense of nostalgia and gratitude for many. This year, as in years past, our Stroller Warriors® members expressed an immense amount of appreciation for the Stroller Warriors community. Kicking off this list of Stroller Warriors gratitude — the shared miles SW members, friends offering a listening ear, gracious company when in times of needed encouragement, or a shared meal over team trivia—for these, I give thanks. The Stroller Warriors Global Team asked our Chapter Coordinators to provide their thoughts about what they are thankful for when it comes to Stroller Warriors, and their responses confirmed nothing but love:

“I’m thankful to the one and only Kelly M. for introducing me to Stroller Warriors, and to my wonderful Co-Coordinator, Genna C., who I’ve been lucky enough to get stationed with twice. Plus all of the other amazing friends I’ve made along the way.” – Sarah W.
“I am thankful for the ability to have a network where you either know someone or someone you know has a connection for you at your next duty station. You never feel "alone" knowing someone will be there on the other side, even if you've never met and your only commonality is Stroller Warriors. I am also thankful for the mental health this community provides me with. Being able to get out, see other people in this military community, and do something for myself really benefits my mindset.”- Ashley J.
