“Being away from home is never easy. We’ve built our own little community and friendships here we’d consider family now.” Military spouses hold it all together through deployments, distance and constant change, often while making sacrifices that go unseen. For nearly 12 years, Hannah Anhalt has navigated military life alongside her Army husband, finding community and purpose through volunteering with the USO in Germany. This #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay, we honor the resilience, sacrifice and strength of spouses like Hannah. Military spouses keep military families moving forward by being the quiet force holding everything together behind the scenes, every day.
