7 MILITARY FAMILIES SHARE WHY THEY APPRECIATE BEING IN THE MILITARY
Thanksgiving is upon us but did you know that November is also Military Family Appreciation Month?
Military families often sacrifice by supporting their service members, uprooting their lives to move around every 18 months to 3 years and more. Being a military family is difficult yet rewarding and we appreciate the experiences that we have during our service member’s years of duty. During this month of Thanksgiving and appreciation for life, 7 Military families share why they appreciate being in the Military.
Five things we love about being a military family are:
1. The unmatched mental, physical and spiritual care and support system that we have in different arenas to care for our families through organizations like Army Community Services, Army Medical Services, The Chaplain Corps and the Family Readiness Group is like no other organization.
2. Having the opportunity to live in different places and decide if we want to return to that location in a future assignment or for retirement.
3. The ability to adapt and overcome adversities no matter the situation.
4. The education benefits for the whole family.
5. The pride we feel in being a military family, reinforced by community support, corporate companies and other organizations that always make us feel welcomed no matter the state and city, there is always local support.
