Monika Flom

Caregiver

A native of Germany, Monika currently lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where she and her husband recently retired following 32 years of service in the United States Army.

Brian and Monika met in Heidelberg, Germany in 1993 and have been married since 1998 and have been stationed in many places around the world.

Monika is intimately familiar with and passionate about the support spouses and caregivers deserve. Monika’s husband credits her with his recovery because of the continued care and compassion she provided when he was wounded in combat and evacuated to Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas.

Monika is the first to volunteer whenever she can and believes one of the most important aspects of her life is the ability to give back to military families and positively affect their lives. Some of her volunteer efforts include the Bush Institute for Military Family Affairs, outreach for Army Community Services and the Army Family Action Plan, advisor to the Carlisle Barracks Spouses Club, senior mentor/facilitator for Army senior spouse education programs and a volunteer/sponsor for the families of the International Spouses Program at the US Army War College.

She has received numerous awards for volunteering, including the Ambassador of the Year at Fort Bliss, Texas, and the Outreach Volunteer of the Year at Fort Drum, New York. Additionally, Monika has been awarded the Public Service Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious Public Service Medal, and was most recently awarded the Superior Public Service Medal from the Secretary of the Army.

Professionally, Monika has a background in finance, spending more than 15 years in banking and 10 years in city government, and she currently works remotely for a law firm based out of Los Angeles, California. In addition to speaking fluent German and English, she is fluent in German Sign Language.

Monika enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors while meeting new people along the way.
