May is Military Recognition Month!

As the spouse of a Navy veteran, sister-in-law of 3 retired male Colonels (2 Army, 1 Air Force), sister- inlaw of a male National Guard Medic, and Female Army Sergeant, daughter-in-law of an Army veteran, and niece of a Vietnam veteran, I have a LOT of respect for their service and the Freedom I enjoy on a daily basis. I also have a LOT of respect for my sisters-in- law, mother-in-law, and nieces and nephews who spent their lives praying and hoping their husband/father would come home safe and sound.

I also have some friends who are currently serving and some who have retired from the Military and I am thankful for their service and pray for their safety.

I encourage every NFBPWC member to reflect on their Freedom and Recognize the sacrifices that are made by our military to KEEP that freedom available for us! I also challenge every member to find a way to recognize our military in their own way, not just in May, but everyday! Some things I have done are Thanking a veteran, sent care packages, bought Girl Scout cookies that were donated to the troops in the Middle East, paid for a Cup of Joe, and written letters/cards to soldiers who were away from home during the holidays! I encourage EVERYONE to do their part to Recognize our Military in your own way!
