Vince Afaisen - 2025 Armed Forces Insurance Army Spouse of the Year

05/30/2026

PCSes are hard! Especially when you make very important and close relationships. Only at Ft. Riley for 13 months but in that short time, I got to make another very close friend become family, her kids became my nieces & nephew, made other close friends and become uncle to their kids. Got to experience helping the schools, community involvement, coaching, photo shoots with friends, celebrations, bonding and just an overall joy that imprinted my heart!

I’m gonna miss this installation and the people I got to meet. Can’t wait to see them again soon. Thank you Kansas for the fun times!

I love what I get to do and what others allow me to be a part of! This is just one of them and I’m so grateful for Karly founding this and letting me be a part of such a giving and loving organization for the military community!

Attended my first Deployed Love event at Ft. Riley! Connected with a sweet group of spouses! There were a few that had only been at Riley a couple weeks and this even being their first duty station!

Seeing and hearing from them of all the seasons of military spouse life! Loved their excitement and wanting to make connections!

Thanks to a Military Spouse owned coffee shop, Bahlm Co, for hosting us! Fun fact: I coach their daughter in volleyball!
