Fort Meade families, I'll bet you know someone (maybe several someones) who deserve this award that Alaska REALTOR Jesse Clifton told us about in his recent blog post. Take note - the nomination period ends in a few days, October 8.
Military Spouse of the Year Award - Now Accepting Nominations
Although praise is deservedly lavished on military service members serving this country, we sometimes overlook their support system at home; their military spouses.
Long deployments to far away lands are no easy task. Military service members are in harms way and away from the family they love for extended periods of time. The wives and husbands left at home have an equally daunting task in that they're charged with keeping the home fires burning.
In recognition of their countless contributions and sacrifices, Military Spouse Magazine is accepting nominations for the 2009 Military Spouse of the Year.
Folks are encouraged to submit a nomination for either themselves or an eligible nominee of their choice. To submit a nomination, individuals must complete the nomination form online at www.msoy.milspouse.com. The nomination period runs from today through Oct. 8, 2008. Judges will review all submissions and select ten finalists from each military service branch, after which readers will select one branch winner.
"This award is an opportunity to thank all military spouses for their invaluable contributions, in addition to recognizing them for the challenges they overcome every day," said Babette Maxwell, Military Spouse magazine co-founder and executive editor.

Wow, that idea is a great way to pay it forward to those who could use the positive feedback. Beeing a military spouse can be very difficult. My grandparents both had spouses who served during ww2. I really love your posts about this topic margaret. There's so little praise for our troops in a time when they need to hear that we're still behind them, but moroever as mentioned, people have forgotten about their spouses who oftentimes suffer the most having to take care of the newborn children at home for example. Words can't express how much i thank you for these kinds of posts. Thank you so much.
You seem to be affected by it as well. Is someone in your family serving? if so i'd like to thank them now for serving their country.
