We are so proud to have our very own Allison Perkins featured in this week's Salute to Spouses series on HLNTV.com. The Salute to Spouses series profiles the lives of men and women who hold down the fort at home while their loved ones serve their country.
Allison has been writing about the military for publications around the globe since 1996. After graduating from Northeastern University she became the bureau chief in Taegu, South Korea, for Pacific Stars and Stripes (and coincidentally met her future husband John!) There, she traveled with troops as they trained throughout Asia. She later covered military news, among other topics, for the Greensboro News & Record and has written for several publications including The Boston Globe and Our State magazine. In 2005, she was embedded with North Carolina troops as they traveled to Iraq.
