It's Time for a change in pace. I no longer have a deployed soldier and I will continue to post things you can send to your loved one when I get ideas. You may still send ideas to me at Dallas_star11@yahoo.com. I am taking this theme of "For the love of a soldier" in a different direction. Now to try to help families and soldiers cope with life after deployment.

Happy Military Spouse Day!


Hey Everyone! Guess what I found out Today is!?!?!?!?
HAPPY MILITARY SPOUSE APPRECIATION DAY!

Some history via Wikipedia:
Military Spouse Day or Military Spouse Appreciation Day is celebrated on the Friday before Mother’s Day in the United States. United States citizens take this day to acknowledge the significant contributions, support, and sacrifices of spouses of their Armed Forces.
Military Spouse Day has been observed since May 23, 1984, when a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan recognized the profound importance of spouse commitment to the readiness and well-being of military members. The US Secretary of Defense standardized the date by declaring the Friday preceding Mother’s Day as Military Spouse Day.
Each year, the US President normally commemorates this day with a ceremonial speech and proclamation.

Isn't that neat,  a whole day to recognize those of us both men and women who stay home while our husbands and wives fight for our country. So Awesome and so glad to know it exists every year! So to all you married stay at home moms and dads who stand by their spouse through deployments and everything else that goes with the military, HAPPY MILITARY SPOUSE DAY!
