The first 90 days after a PCS move are some of the hardest: job disruption, childcare shortages, school logistics, and the isolation that sets in when a service member reports straight to work. Blue Star Welcome Week was built for exactly that window and military-connected families are experiencing this across the country right now.
At the Military Influencer Conference (@MIC_Military) in Tampa, @KaitYancy, Blue Star Families' Associate Director of Government Affairs, a Navy veteran and a military spouse, sat down with Christie Nix, host of the Milspouse in the House podcast, to talk about Welcome Week, policy priorities and more.

600,000 military families PCS this time of year. For @BlueStarFamily Welcome Week, I joined @laurynricketts & @AdamTuss on @nbcwashington to share free programs that help them feel at home: @Disney books, @Starbucks Coffee events, museums, nat'l parks & more. #BlueStarWelcomeWeek
When Coast Guard child care centers were at risk of closing during the shutdown, our community showed up. @craignewmark stepped up first, giving generously and rallying others to help keep the centers open.
Blue Star Families is honored to receive CGMA’s 2026 Values Award for this work. 💙

Good news – thanks to legislation I wrote, Virginia is getting $4 million to support veteran suicide prevention.
Veterans deserve the very best mental health care. I’m glad to see money coming to Virginia to make it happen.
58% of veterans in our 2025 MFLS described their military-to-civilian transition as difficult or very difficult. We support the BRIDGE Act from @SenAlexPadilla & @SenatorTimScott, supporting transitioning military families. #BlueStarImpact
