Military Appreciation Month
Military Appreciation Month
May, marked officially as Military Appreciation Month, is a special month for both those in and out of the military.
Congress designated May as National Military Appreciation Month in 1999 to ensure the nation was given the chance to publicly show their appreciation for troops past and present.
National Military Appreciation Month is celebrated every May and is a declaration that encourages U.S. citizens to observe the month in a symbol of unity. It honors current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those who have died in the pursuit of freedom.
Not only do we pause on Memorial Day to remember the sacrifice and service of those who gave all, but this month also holds several other military anniversaries and events, including Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Armed Forces day.
Join the Alamo Chapter, AUSA, as we honor the service and sacrifice of members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, Space Force and National Guard as well as the contribution of their spouses.
