Military Spouse Appreciation Day 2022 at USO Naval Base Guam

May 6th is Military Spouse Appreciation Day and USO Naval Base Guam celebrated with lunch and some sweet treats.

According to whitehouse.gov: Military spouses are the rock on which their families, our military community, and our national security depend. Though most do not wear a uniform themselves, they serve and strengthen our Nation every day — providing our brave troops with support, comfort, and love. They build communities of strength on bases around the world to care for our military family, pitching in wherever they see a need that is unmet. On Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we recognize the nearly one million military spouses and their vital contributions to our Nation. We are grateful for their selfless sacrifice and inspired by their strength, fortitude, and courage.

Today, America’s military spouses are a constellation of diverse individuals with unique backgrounds and the common attribute of uncommon resilience. Like their service members, they too represent the best of who we are as Americans. Military spouses know what it means to make sacrifices in defense of our ideals and freedoms. And they live with the hardship of having their life partner deployed away from home — juggling all the responsibilities of work and family while saying an extra prayer every morning that their spouse returns home safely.

Even during the most demanding circumstances, military spouses continue to serve, creating innovative solutions to meet the challenges we face as a Nation. Today, military spouses serve in dynamic leadership roles across all sectors — using their own experiences to support the needs of the communities around them. With enthusiasm and an entrepreneurial spirit, military spouses create businesses and support systems that serve the needs of others.

On Military Spouse Appreciation Day and every day, we are grateful for the extraordinary service and sacrifice of America’s military spouses. May we continue to lift their voices, invest in their talents, and respond to their unique needs in ways that ease their challenges and enable them to reach their goals and aspirations. May God bless our military families, caregivers, and survivors, and may God protect our troops.
