Military Spouse Appreciation Day

Date: Friday, May 6^th, 2022.

You don’t need a specific Military Spouse Appreciation Day to make sure you acknowledge the military spouse in your life. Service members know that their spouses are the ones who keep the home fires burning. And military spouses know that those around them also walking through military life are more than just friends and neighbors: They are family.

You are the service members, family, and friends of military spouses wh

o stay up-to-date and you know family is what keeps military life moving forward.

Military Spouse Appreciation Day is a day set aside for us to pause to recognize the military spouses around us who have the greatest impact on our lives and our military communities.

The Friday in May before Mother’s Day, this special day was first recognized by President

 Ronald Reagan in 1984. The sitting president typically issues a proclamation in recognition of the holiday, while celebrations are held on and near U.S. military bases around the world.
