Military Spouse Business

MyMilitaryBenefits

On Friday, May 12th, 2023, we celebrate Military Spouse Appreciation Day. We honor the sacrifices and contributions made by military spouses as they support our servicemembers. Moreover, the military spouse plays an integral role during deployments, ship duty, and training exercises, while they manage the homefront in their servicemember’s absence. 

To take this a step further, there are spouses who, in addition to their roles as spouses and parents, they also work and contribute to their household income. As a military spouse, I can attest to the difficulty that comes with managing the home, raising the kids, and still trying to work while my soldier is away.

On this Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we celebrate all military spouses and we honor their sacrifices. Additionally, we highlight five businesses that are owned and operated by a military spouse.

Support Our Military Spouses

These businesses are owned and operated by military spouses from across our armed forces. They not only work hard to keep these businesses running, they also create jobs for others, and support their service members. 

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of businesses owned and operated by a military spouse. They are all worthy of your consideration and support. 

So on this Military Spouse Appreciation Day, check out these businesses, or any of the others around you. Here’s a good start:

If you are a Military Spouse, thank you for all that you do. Without your dedication and support, our military would not be as great as it is today.

If you are a Service Member, please take a moment and thank your spouse for their support. There are a number of ways to show your gratitude, and it only takes a moment.
