In her new role, she will work directly with Delaware veterans to help them navigate federal agencies, employment opportunities, and other community resources.\n\nThe Stars of Valor program was authorized in the 117th and 118th Congresses and provides two-year, paid fellowship opportunities in the U.S. Senate for qualifying veterans, eligible wounded or disabled veterans, active-duty military spouses, and Gold Star families.\n\n\u201cI am thrilled to have Savanna join my team as a Stars of Valor Fellow to ensure the federal government serves our states\u2019 heroes as they\u2019ve served us,\u201d said Senator Blunt Rochester. \u201cHer professional experience in health care and criminal justice reform will help inform our policy decisions, and as a military spouse, she will bring an important perspective to the work we do with Delaware\u2019s military and veteran communities. She is a tremendous asset to our team, and we welcome her.\u201d\n\nBridgens believes that challenges facing military families should be addressed with an empathetic, person-centered approach.
