Michael Kunz, a Senior Care Manager at Magellan, shares how his son and daughter-in-law’s military service reflects a family commitment that spans branches, deployments, and years apart.
Adam, a Sgt. 1st Class in the Army, served as a cryptologic linguist in Kuwait and Iraq and later as a drill sergeant. His wife Dana served active-duty tours in the Air Force in Qatar and Afghanistan, left as a captain, then rejoined as an Air Force reservist to take on a more hands-on role. She is currently deployed in Qatar, and Adam is stationed in Colorado.
Married for 10 years, Adam and Dana have spent much of that time stationed apart. Technology has kept them connected across time zones and continents.
Their dedication mirrors millions who have chosen service over comfort. Michael’s wife Deborah witnessed that dedication firsthand when Adam and Dana attended a Veterans Day event at her school.
Two branches. One family. Unwavering commitment.
