This year, National Military Spouse Appreciation Day is May 10.<\/p>\n<p>To recognize and honor our 405th AFSB spouses \u2013 all who serve selflessly alongside of us and contribute greatly to our strengths and successes \u2013 the Soldiers, Army civilians, local national employees and contractors assigned to the 405th AFSB send their combined and unremitted appreciation, respect, and love to their spouses on National Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and every day.<\/p>\n<p>Since the early days of the Continental Army, military spouses have selflessly contributed to the strength of our Army by caring for and supporting their Soldiers. Army spouses make sacrifices alongside the Soldiers and the Army workforce during deployments, permanent changes of stations, long workdays and during all the ever-evolving uncertainties that come with Army life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTaking care of our 405th AFSB family is a privilege and a responsibility I am fully committed to,\u201d said Col. Ernest Lane II, the commander of the 405th AFSB. \u201cOne of our greatest strengths is our military spouses and Army families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask a lot from our spouses and our families. Therefore, we have a solemn obligation to take care of them each and every day,\u201d Lane said.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s clear that across the Army, spouses play an important role in readiness and Soldier retention, as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArmy Spouses \u2013 over 431,000 across all three components \u2013 play an important role in Soldier and family readiness and Soldier retention,\u201d said the Honorable Christine Wormuth, the Secretary of the Army. \u201cWe remain committed to improving spouse employment and career opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caring for our people is a major priority for the Army and for the 405th AFSB. The 405th AFSB is dutifully committed to improving the lives of our people, which includes our spouses and families. Together, we will continue to invest in our futures and faithfully \u2018Support the Warrior\u2019 with pride.<\/p>\n<p>Happy National Military Spouse Appreciation Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictured here is just a fraction of the hundreds of spouses who are part of our 405th Army Field Support Brigade total team.
