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.

Nearly a third of these caregivers are under the age of 30.

When Cameron Albin was in the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in the fall of 2012, the former Marine Corps infantry officer admits that he “was not a very good human being.”
