Dear, Field Problems:
My fiancé would like for me to make a donation to a wounded or fallen warrior fund for one of his Christmas presents. I’m not for sure where to find one or how to know which ones are reputable. Could you please help me out?
Nikki; Fort Thomas, KY; Army Reserve fiancée
Dear, Field Problems:
I was tasked with starting a Soldier and Family Readiness Group from “scratch.” Do you have any suggestions on how to get, keep, motivate, and recognize our volunteers?
Joanne; Fort Bliss, TX; Active Duty Army
Dear, Field Problems:
Are my e-mails and/or letters to my husband being read? Seriously, I’m not trying to sound paranoid, but someone from his ship told me they were. I’d just like to know, if this is common practice, and if so, why.

Military spouses aren’t usually afforded the luxury of stability. We’re here one year and there the next. The friends we make tomorrow may not be there next week. Our happiness along this journey is often a “state of mind,” but here six things we can do to bloom where we’re planted.
May is Military Appreciation Month—the month where we celebrate Armed Forces Day, recognize milspouses with Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and remember the fallen with Memorial Day. But how can you best help military families?
Yes, it’s that time of year when I get a little nostalgic. The time of year when Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day all come within a few months of each other. It’s as if I have a sense of standing for those who have gone before us and those who are currently serving this country. I find myself frustrated if I attend a service on these days that doesn’t focus on America and all that goes along with freedom and sacrifice. My husband and I have walked out of meetings when the focus has been on life as usual during these times, when the recognition and honor should have been placed on the American spirit and those who fight and sacrifice to defend it.
