Veterans

Your family was once “one of us,” but now you are in the civilian world. You wonder, do you still have a place in the military community? The answer is a loud resounding yes! You are always family to us.

We know there are memories, scars, and lessons that you still carry with you every day. There are also a ton of resources to which you have access now that you are officially a “Veteran.”  We want to be sure you know how to utilize those resources best.  Check out this page to read more about career help, veteran organizations, special events, and opportunities unique to veterans.

From everyone here at Mission: Milspouse we thank you and honor you for your time in service. 

Scholarship Gives Milspouses Hope for Future

by | Mar 20, 2022 | , ,

When Hope For The Warriors created its Spouse/Caregiver Scholarship Program 15 years ago, it had people like Evanna Burgwardt in mind.

Burgwardt is the wife of a Green Beret. It’s a life she was unsure of when she first met her husband. Six years later, that life has made her stronger, more independent, and sure of herself. She believes that strength and confidence made her a better nurse in the past few years. She also knows it has been crucial in her quest to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).

As a career coach, I hear from clients all the time who have applied to many jobs without a single call back. My first question is always the same: Are you tailoring your resume?

Like many military spouses living in the greater Washington, D.C. area, I get my medical care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. 

Sitting in the lobby at a recent medical appointment, I couldn’t help but notice how busy the place was. People coming in and out, wounded warriors heading to appointments, medical equipment being delivered, staff members rushing to their next shift, and patients receiving critical care.

Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield

Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield

by | Dec 14, 2021 | , ,

I remember learning of Clarissa Harlowe Barton, better known as Clara Barton, in elementary school. Photos of her depicted a graceful woman with perfectly-braided hair pinned up elegantly on the back of her head, wearing a large dark gown and a gentle smile.

As children, we learn of her contributions to American history through the founding of the American Red Cross, but it wasn’t until I started volunteering for the organization that I unearthed the magnitude of her efforts and how it led to the organization I hold so dearly today.
