Military life is hard for everyone involved in the service member's life, but especially their husband or wife. That is why on May 10th we take the time to thank our military spouses for their contributions and sacrifice to their Nation for National Military Spouse Appreciation Day. One day isn't enough, but we thank you for the strength and stability you provide for your service member. #MilSpouse
