Woman with a heart of support
The 1st Airlift Squadron located on Joint Base Andrews, Md., has a very active spouse program which is maintained by Denise Gardner, the unit's key spouse for the past three and a half years.
"I immediately started meeting with the commander and first sergeant and getting involved," Gardner said. Gardner revitalized the key spouse program by organizing
events such as the ladies night out and numerous luncheons. She also prepares informative newsletters that are delivered on a regular basis. Gardner has been a military spouse for nearly 20 years married to Senior Master Sgt. Chuck Gardner, the communications systems operator for the 89th Operations Group. Together they have three sons.
