Veterans Week: Service, Family & Purpose w/ US Army Veteran Tammy Flake

In this powerful Veterans Week episode, The MisFitNation welcomes US Army Veteran Tammy Flake — a leader, advocate, businesswoman, and champion for veteran wellness and community connection.

Tammy served from 2004-2008 as a Unit Supply Specialist and Arms Room Specialist with the 3-101 Aviation Regiment at Fort Campbell, supporting the Apache helicopter mission. She earned her Air Assault qualification and deployed to Iraq (2005–2006), where she played a key role in maintaining readiness and equipping soldiers for their missions.

Today, Tammy brings that same discipline and compassion into her life as a wife, mother of five, entrepreneur, VFW Post Commander, and Utah VFW State Surgeon. She is driven to combat veteran suicide and works closely with Heroes Haven, which provides mentorship, connection, and healing for veterans seeking purpose after service.

This conversation is about service, identity, transition, Family, leadership, and hope — and the belief that no veteran should ever be left behind.
