Cindy McNally
Cindy McNally is a veteran, Army and Texas Army National Guard 1978-1983. She is the Founder and Past President of Wilco Blue Star Mothers, a Dept. of Defense organization for military parents, the Blue To Gold Liaison for families of Central Texas KIA’s. She is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and has also served on the Executive Board of Directors for many non-profit organizations. Her husband of 25 years, a Naval Academy grad and former Marine F4 pilot committed suicide in 2007. It was through the IW Silkies Hikes that she, her son, and daughter (combat veterans) experienced the “life-changing” healing that can take place in the company of other warriors through the camaraderie that is so unique to IW. As a result of this experience, she has committed her heart (ruck, boots, and body) to bring awareness to and supporting IW. She served as the IW National Hike Coordinator for 2 years. She’s known and referred to by most as “Momma Bear” or “Momma” because she lives by the code.
