33 A Military Spouse Appreciation Day event was held May 7, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, by the 86th Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Readiness Center.
Military Spouse Appreciation Day is a national holiday to celebrate the sacrifices made by military spouses on the Friday before Mother’s Day in May.
The 86th FSS organized a scavenger hunt that allowed participants to have fun and learn along the way. “Participants are going to go to all 19 resource tables and receive something really neat from each organization,” said Gwen Lee, flight chief of the Airman and Family Readiness Center.
The event had several supporting partners including United Services Organization, the New Parent Support program, American Red Cross and many others.
9 As service members continue to train and deploy in defense of our nation’s freedom, the demands to provide operational support and training have become an essential part of their individual readiness.
The Fort Bliss Army Community Service Mobilization and Deployment program is charged with meeting these operational demands and preparing Soldiers, civilians and families for challenges that may arise throughout each phase of military missions.
Mobilization and Deployment Supervisor Deanna Garcia credits her team for “standing by, and always being ready to support, before, during and after a deployment.”
“Support doesn’t just start when orders are issued. Our team stays prepared and ready at all times…as the deployment gets closer and the tempo picks up, so does the stress,” she said. “We’re here to get the resources out immediately by working with our units and support groups.”
