What is 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.
- Not only do we pause on Memorial Day Memorial Day, Decoration Day | Military.com to remember the sacrifice and service of those who gave all, but the month also holds several other military anniversaries and events, including Military Spouse Appreciation Month 2023 MilSpouse Month Virtual Event | MySECO (militaryonesource.mil) and Armed Forces DayArmed Forces Day | Military.com .
