If you’re a military member, spend some time today showing appreciation for your spouse. Military spouses make many sacrifices for their loved ones, so it’s important that they receive acknowledgment for all that they do. ❤️

Did you know the Navy travels more than any other military branch? ✈️Because the Navy operates at sea, its service members are consistently involved in maritime operations. As a result, they frequently require more accommodations & support from their families than other branches.
