Staff Sgt. Nicholas Monteleone

Retired Lt. Col. Lynne Hull speaks about the challenges of military deployments to an audience of 500 Nov. 23, 2019, at an Air Force Reserve Yellow Ribbon Integration Program event in Orlando, Florida. Hull retired in 2016 after 28 years in the military and shared advice learned from her own Air Force deployments and those of her husband and father. Yellow Ribbon promotes the well-being of reservists and their loved ones by connecting them with resources before and after deployments. It began in 2008 following a congressional mandate for the Department of Defense to assist reservists and National Guard members in maintaining resiliency as they transition between their military and civilian roles. Each year, the Air Force Reserve program trains 7,000 reservists and those closest to them in education benefits, health care, retirement information and more. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
