May is Military Appreciation Month, a time to honor and recognize the contributions and sacrifices of the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Every day, American service members and their families make the selfless decision to help defend our freedoms and safety around the globe. Military life often involves huge sacrifices – whether it’s relocating far from family and friends or service members’ spouses giving up their own careers to keep their family unit together.
There are countless ways to show your appreciation and give back to our veterans, active military personnel and their families.
One of the simplest ways of showing appreciation is to say, “thank you.”
You might also consider giving a military spouse a hand in their day-to-day lives. If you know a deployed military family, why not drop off a meal, offer to babysit or take their dog for a walk?
And if you’re a business owner, giving back can be as easy as providing a military discount.
These small gestures can go a long way in supporting service members and their families.
As a veteran myself, I understand the importance of support and camaraderie within the military community and I encourage you to join me in showing appreciation in whatever way you can, both this month and always.

2moMEMORIAL DAY - WE REMEMBER 1914-1918 War Laura J Sanders© Published by Family Friend Poems November They sacrificed their lives, entered the gates of hell, Onward they stumbled, while all around them fell, War weary, ragged, faces dirt encrusted, black. Impatient for the whistle, ready for attack. In their hearts burned everlasting hope, Carrying love letters and handwritten notes, Tiny mementos and gifts tucked into pockets, As shells blasted like exploding rockets! They died as all good soldiers die, Hoping for a better world for you and I, Wanting to set the world free, But many would shudder if they could see The selfish world we live in today. Would they be pleased with its uncaring ways? Because "for our today, they gave their tomorrow," So let us be grateful, not wallow in sorrow. Let us make their sacrifice worthwhile, And help each other with willingness and a smile, For at our darkest hour, our country they did save, With their lives, which they so bravely gave. R.I.P. 🙏 ... Slow Hand Salute 🇺🇸
