Milspouse Matters

About Milspouse Matters

Milspouse Matters is the podcast dedicated to encouraging military spouses! I'm your host, Jen McDonald, and I was a military spouse for 30 years until my husband's retirement. We lived all around the world, raised four kids, and dealt with all the challenges and adventures of military life, just like you! I'm also the author of two books for military spouses. Over the years, I came to believe that we military spouses are tough, but we're only stronger together. Whether you're a new or more seasoned spouse…Whatever life is throwing your way? Let's talk about it!

   A Talk with the Authors of Unwavering: Taylor Kiland and Judy Gray- Ep. 113

   On this episode, I'm honored to be speaking to Judy Gray and Taylor Kiland, the authors of the newly released book, Unwavering: The Wives Who Fought to Ensure No Man is Left Behind. About the book: In a time when women faced countless challenges and societal limitations, these military wives dared to defy the status quo. They transformed from bystanders to frontline activists, passionately advocating for the return of their missing and captive husbands during the Vietnam War. Their unwavering determination made the fate of their men—and the others who were POWs and MIA— a national priority, despite the odds stacked against them. "Unwavering" is not just a book; it's a love letter to military spouses everywhere. Judy and Taylor, both military veterans themselves, take us on a journey behind the scenes of this incredible project. Discover what inspired them to tell this powerful story and what kept them motivated throughout the writing process. Get a sneak peek into the remarkable tales of perseverance and courage found within the pages of Unwavering. This is the quintessential American narrative of how a group of women, once silenced and sidelined, reshaped the way America fights its wars. Watch the Unwavering book trailer and see this episode's complete show notes here. Get the Unwavering book on Amazon here.
