The furnace quit working, you’re alone, and the children are cold. What do you do? Luckily, leadership of the 127th Wing is all too familiar with the overwhelming stress taken on by military spouses in the wake of a deployment and they’re standing by to help! To provide emergency support, the Wing has partnered with military, state, and local community organizations to establish a unique resource for spouses of deployed service members which is locally referred to as the Hometown Hero Hotline. <br/> <img src='https://media.defense.gov/2019/Feb/13/2002089520/82/55/0/170219-F-NQ307-567.JPG' alt='Family members await the arrival of Airmen returning home from a deployment at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., Feb. 19, 2017.' /> <br /> Thu, 07 Feb 2019 05:00:00 GMT Theresa Morris http://www.127wg.ang.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1756899/hometown-heroes-program-supports-families-of-deployed-airmen/ Airmen & Family Readiness
