Appreciating America’sMilitary

May is a month to appreciatewarmer days, sunshine and allthat comes with spring. Andsince 1999, it’s also designatedas Military Appreciation Month, atime to formally and publiclythank and support the men andwomen who have served orcurrently serve to protect ourfreedom and liberty.

Created from the simple ideaof gathering America around itsarmed forces to show gratitudeand solidarity, the month of Maywas chosen because it alreadyincludes the most military-relatedcommemoration days: LoyaltyDay, Victory in Europe (VE) Day,Armed Forces Day, MilitarySpouse Appreciation Day and,most well-known, Memorial Day.

The congressional resolutionfor Military Appreciation Monthcalls for a proclamation from thepresident regarding the importantrole these men and women fill,but you can celebrate in yourown community any way youchoose. One of the easiest, yetmost meaningful, is to offer aheartfelt thank-you to all servicemembers, past and present.
