Valerie Mulikin - Operation Veteran & Caregiver Support

About This Episode

How do you turn years of personal hardship into a mission to serve thousands of veterans and their families?

In this episode of Pitbull 214, host Rick “Pitbull” Perales sits down with Valerie Mulikin, founder of Operation Veteran & Caregiver Support, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans, caregivers, and military families navigate the challenges of life after service.

Valerie shares her remarkable journey from being a Navy spouse during Desert Storm to becoming a passionate advocate after her husband's unexpected medical retirement and decades-long battle with a debilitating neurological illness. Together, they transformed years of frustration, uncertainty, and hardship into a nationwide mission of service.

From helping veterans access benefits and healthcare resources to creating food pantries, Welcome Home Baskets for formerly homeless veterans, and community programs that combat isolation, Valerie explains how Operation Veteran & Caregiver Support is changing lives one family at a time. She also discusses the importance of advocacy, resilience, faith, and why no veteran or caregiver should ever have to navigate the system alone.

This episode is an inspiring reminder that some of the greatest acts of service begin long after military service ends, and that one person's determination can create lasting change for an entire community.

If you know a veteran, caregiver, military family, or someone looking for ways to support those who served, share this episode with them today.
