Trump Marks National Military Families Month: Military Spouse Commission Formed In August, Members Total 544 Years Of Service
The White House released President Donald J. Trump's message on National Military Families Month on November 12. Trump said that for 250 years the United States Armed Forces have safeguarded the Republic, sustained by the support, love, strength, and grit of their families, and that National Military Families Month celebrates the men, women, parents, and children who are partners in an honorable life of service and sacrifice.
The message notes that military life is demanding for families: they hold firm on the home front during deployments, navigate frequent relocations to duty stations worldwide, strive to find jobs and maintain careers in a nomadic life, and forge new friendships in unfamiliar schools and communities. Amid constant change and uncertainty, military families develop uncommon resilience, and the nation stands forever in their debt.
As Commander in Chief, Trump said the highest standards of military readiness cannot be maintained without prioritizing the quality of life and well-being of military families. In August, he signed an Executive Order establishing the first-ever Military Spouse Commission to address challenges including housing, employment, education, childcare, and deployment-related support. Its members, including spouses of the Service Secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and senior enlisted leaders from every branch, together represent 544 years of active-duty military service.
Trump said gratitude for the all-volunteer force is incomplete without recognition of their families, who answer the same call to duty and form the backbone of the finest military the world has ever known. The First Lady joined him in saluting these Americans and praying for God's continued blessings upon them, the Armed Forces, and the nation. (Source: The White House)
