Military Spouse Appreciation Day
Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
Military Spouse Appreciation Day was first celebrated in 1984 when then-President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the observance to honor the contributions of military spouses. The military now sets aside the Friday before Mother's Day each year to pay tribute to the spouses who play a vital role in the nation's defense.
Today would be an excellent day to thank a neighbor, friend or loved-one who supports a military member day in and day out.
So, thank you to all of you who share this life with me. The support and caring of my military friends has helped me get through more than you’ll ever know. And thank you to my civilian friends who try their best to understand the life I live. Some of your smallest gestures have meant so much to me. I appreciate you all.

Why didn't I know about this? I could have gotten something pretty!
It really needs to be publicized better.
