VetFamily: Kathryn Cross
Featured for this Week

Kathryn Cross truly lives a life of devotion to our country, and its women and men who served it. She was born on an Air Force base, and has a rich family history of military service, including her dad who served during the Korean War as a flight instructor. She encouraged her firstborn to join the Navy as an aspiring SEAL, and he once proudly told his mother, “I am a lifer Ma, I love what I do!”

“I hoped he would follow his dreams,” she tells WeSalute (founded as Veterans Advantage) about Tyler’s desire to serve, in an exclusive interview. “He wanted so much to be like his father, who was a heavily decorated Green Beret during the Vietnam War.”

Scott's View

Every year, on the Friday before Mother’s Day, we honor spouses of our U.S. military through National Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Today’s that day!

We believe that “when one in the family serves, the whole family serves.” Today, we honor the contributions and sacrifices made by the hundreds of thousands of military spouses, men and women. Military spouses’ tireless support runs in the background 24 hours a day, while our military defends us on the front lines. Their commitment and support help to keep our country safe. Each day they bolster the nation's strength, and serve as heroes and role models for us all.

Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits Creating A Real Thank You, Once Again: Introducing WeSalute Travel For over 25 years, WeSalute (formerly Veterans Advantage) has been driven by a singular, unwavering mission: to deliver "A Real Thank You®" to those who serve. As we look ahead to commemorating America’s 250th Anniversary of independence, we are reflecting on what two and a half centuries of selfless service and patriotism mean to our nation. To honor that legacy, we knew we had to create something unprecedented.
Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits A Quarter-Millennium of Freedom: Honoring America’s 250th Anniversary History is unfolding right before our eyes. We are now officially less than a month away from July 4, 2026—the Semiquincentennial, or America’s 250th Anniversary. Two and a half centuries ago, a bold and unprecedented experiment in self-governance was born. As the nation prepares for this historic milestone, it is a time for profound reflection on how a fragile collection of colonies transformed into the world’s greatest beacon of liberty.
