 Military Family Appreciation Month is a time to honor the sacrifices of our military families. Army families of Active, Guard, Reserve, survivors, veterans, and retirees are giving back in a time of need and sustain and support the Soldiers who defend our Nation. Army Families are Army Strong.
Throughout the month of November, Army families serving around the world are being honored through a variety of observances and are being recognized for the commitment and contributions they make every day
Through Army Family Covenant commitments, the Army will continue to build trust and confidence that the Army cares for Soldiers and Families. At all levels, the Army will continue to recognize the continued support and sacrifices Army Families make every day.
Army Families are important as the strength of our Soldiers comes from the strength of their Families. They are a vital connection between Soldiers and the Army's ability to remain strong. All Army families, Active, Guard, Reserve, survivors, veterans and retirees are giving back in this time of need. With thousands of Soldiers deployed, recognizing the daily sacrifices made by Army families has never been more important.
