🌟 Today, May 10th, marks National Military Spouse Appreciation Day, a moment to honor the unsung heroes behind our brave soldiers. Yet, amidst the valor and sacrifice, there lies a silent struggle for many military spouses – the battle against substance use disorder within their loved ones.

Spouses navigate deployments, relocations, and the unique challenges of service life. Yet, they stand as pillars of strength, offering unwavering support through every twist and turn of recovery. They become advocates, allies, and beacons of hope, lighting the way forward with love and understanding. Today, we salute these remarkable individuals, whose courage knows no bounds. 🌟 #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay “Your New Dawn Awaits” Available 24/7 for Help 📲 702-595-2995 www.firstdawnrecovery.com #firstdawnrecovery #veteranrecovery #veteranrehabilitation #rehabilitationcenter #mentalhealth #veteranmentalhealth #lasvegasrecoverycenter #lasvegasrecovery

Last weekend, I had the great opportunity to drive a Retired Navy Vietnam Veteran in the Grapevine Veteran’s Parade. (He’s there in the passenger seat!) We had a great talk while he waved at the crowd. I want to thank him and all the other US veterans who have fought for our freedoms.

This is something I’m so happy I learned before I married my spouse. My grandmother and grandfather have been married 67 years and he was in the military for 23 of them, and the one thing she taught me when I finally told her I was engaged was not to let my aspirations and my dreams go because I felt obligated to. It is not wrong as a military spouse to want a career and want to be successful, it’s just difficult. But it’s 100% worth it when you get to see your person at the end of the day. #jobseeker #milspouse #militaryspouse #remote #opentoopportunities #opentowork #projectmanagment #supplychain #logistics #procurment

Thankgiving gatherings are a chance to elicit #veterans histories in addition to family history. I'm reminded of my great uncle Dean, who fought and served in the #worldwar2 battles of #iwojima and the raid on #makinisland. A typical #usmc veteran of that era, he didn't talk freely about his experiences. It was only after some of us who had served in the military, did he open up to us about his #veteranshistory. I suggest that if you are gathering with your family and close friends during this #thanksgiving, and there are #veterans among you, then use this time to elicit the stories of service. In particular, have your children (and maybe adults) put down their mobile devices and have a #veteranshistory conversation for your family history. Get them to tell the story repeatedly, so we never forget them. Here are some simple question prompts to ask them: - Did you serve in the military? What did you do? - Tell us a story about your memories of life in the military? - What prompted you to join? How old were you? - How do you see the world differently after having been in the military? - What would you tell the future generations about military service?
