State of Union Support for Spouses
Jan 30 2008
President Bush closed his State of Union by calling for more support for military spouse employment. I have to think that the majority of Americans probably glossed over that, but to some of us, that resonated. Support for your service member spouse shouldn’t have to come at the cost of your own dreams and ambitions. Any additional opportunities or support we could offer military families to make the decision to stay in the military work for their lifestyle constitutes a win-win situation. The spouse is able to pursue a career, the service member continues to do what they love and the nation retains an all-volunteer force.
