Scott’s View: Military Spouses & Mother’s Day from Veterans Advantage

May 6, 2022

This is a big weekend. First, because today is National Military Spouse Appreciation Day! Longtime fans of Veterans Advantage know that we believe when one serves our nation’s military, the family serves.

Upon deployment, an entire family is called to serve in their support of members of our U.S. Armed Forces, especially the spouse who anchors the household. Today we honor all military spouses -- women and men -- as we are reminded how much they help make our military great.

And for a great many of these great spouses, Sunday is their day. Happy Mother's Day this Sunday to all the moms!
