PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Kristen Christy has faced numerous hardships throughout her life. Ten years ago her husband, Don Christy, died by suicide at Black Forest Regional Park in Colorado Springs, Colo. Her oldest son Ryan went missing Sept. 20, 2015, and has yet to be found. Despite these challenges, Christy has proved her resilience and was recognized as the Air Force Spouse of the Year for 2018. (U.S. Air Force photo by Dennis Hoffman)
