Army wife Heidi battles deployments while guiding six children
Heidi and Alan raised Timothy Michael and Grace as their children while Heidi served in Army Reserve and deployed to Afghanistan in 2008. The family moved from Germany to Fort Gordon and Fort Campbell before settling near Battle Creek. Heidi's two mobilizations included a year in Afghanistan and a later stint at Fort Liberty, all while managing home life with five younger kids and supporting Alan’s police academy path.
