Spouse Clubs Program
| Military
Spouse Appreciation Day Friday May 11th is Military Spouse Appreciation Day. Last year, the president, in his proclamation issued May 5, 2011 said: "Military spouses serve as steady and supportive partners to the heroes in uniform who protect and defend our great Nation every day. Across America and around the world, military spouses serve our country in their own special way, helping families and friends through the stress of a deployment, caring for our wounded warriors, and supporting each other when a loved one has made the ultimate sacrifice.” This year’s Presidential Proclamation for Military Spouse Appreciation Day will be available at www.whitehouse.gov (Home • Briefing Room • Presidential Actions) Commands and units are encouraged to recognize the husbands and wives of our Coast Guardsmen with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
