Just like you, we choose our partners very carefully. Here at Mission: Milspouse, our partners know the very hearts of military spouses and supporters.
We have partners that care about the financial, physical, and mental well being of everyone in the military world.
They in turn know how committed we are to YOU Milspouse. You are our mission!
Did you spend a great deal of time during quarantine googling “work from home jobs” or “remote work?” Were you dreading the day you might have to go back to work or worried that you might not be asked to return due to “organizational restructuring?”
If you can relate to any of these, read on…
Remember the good old days—before anyone had coined the term “social distancing?”
So far, 2020 has been marked by an escalating global crisis fueled by the spread of COVID-19. Now that the United States has joined the list of countries with widespread cases, we’re coping with the tragedy of human loss, the financial impact on our communities and our pocketbooks, and the shared responsibility of slowing the spread of the virus.

In this unprecedented time in our country, many of us are taking closer look at our personal finances. A global pandemic is new to us all, but First Command has experience coaching military families through the most volatile times. There’s a tendency at times like this to feel a bit helpless, but there are steps you can take now to organize your financial life and ensure that you are on track for your long-term goals.
Here are some suggestions for how to make the most of the current environment.
As parents, one of the most important things we can do for our children is to build financial literacy. After all, if we’re not careful, time can slip away and our children will enter adulthood with no experience managing their own finances.
Use the following lessons as a guide for teaching your children basic financial principles that will help them as they grow into adulthood.

“Thank you for your service.”
It’s a common expression used by a civilian as he or she meets a veteran or an active-duty service member. Although the person expressing thanks may not necessarily know you personally, it’s a heartfelt statement for all who have and currently do serve our country. That phrase bridges the gap of awkwardness for most of us who struggle with how to say the right thing. Please feel the sincerity and gratitude that is being expressed, whether it is directed to you or to your service member.
A family’s love is the best medicine. That is what my great-uncle Zachary always believed and it’s a phrase I hold near and dear to my heart. Zach Fisher and his wife, Elizabeth, created Fisher House Foundation when they saw the need for our heroes to have family nearby while undergoing medical treatments at VA hospitals and military installations far from home.
