Welcome to Blue Star Families of Tennessee!

I am Karissa Poe, Chapter Director for our beautiful Volunteer State. I have served as an Army spouse for 15 years, and it is my honor to welcome you to our Chapter. While I reside in the Clarksville, Tennessee/Fort Campbell community, you will see me traveling across the state to serve as many military and Veteran families in our community as possible.

I invite you to share ways I can make you feel more welcome, encourage your participation at events, grow engagement on our Facebook page, lend a helping hand as a volunteer, and invite others to join us. If you want to see a stronger presence of Blue Star Families in your area, remember: we cannot do it without you!

Campaign for Inclusion

All Blue Star Families programming is informed by our research. For this reason, research and advocacy is a key pillar of our Campaign for Inclusion. While all Blue Star Families research in the future will continue to look at data through a racial equity and inclusion lens, our groundbreaking studyThe Diverse Experiences of Military and Veteran Families of Color provides unparalleled insight into how military families experience military life.
