Military Spouse Appreciation Day

Military spouses also care for our wounded warriors and honor the memory of our Nation’s fallen heroes, including their own loved ones.

Their contributions help protect our freedom by strengthening our communities and our servicemembers.

Here’s to you, the one who will never give up, even when everything around you seems to be falling down.

And here’s to you, because while people may think they know how tough it is to be a hero, no one but us will ever know how tough it is to love one…
