Army Spouse Honored - Military Schools Doing their Part to Support Military Spouses

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Army spouse Renee Garcia was recently honored with the first inaugural Military Motherhood Award for her dedicated work as mother, army spouse and volunteer. The award ceremony was held on Capitol Hill and was part of a series of events associated with Military Spouse Day on May 9. In addition to recognition from the Government and private organizations, military schools have also been offering military spouse scholarships and discounts for military spouses.

Operation Homefront chose Garcia over 400 candidates; a military chaplain nominated Garcia after observing her loving care for her daughter Kennedy, who was born with Down syndrome and then diagnosed last year with leukemia. Garcia, who has three other young children, managed to care for her sick daughter and volunteer at a Ft. Campbell family readiness group all while her husband was deployed in Afghanistan.

It's often said that military spouses are the backbone of the military, allowing service members to focus on their military careers with the peace of mind that their families are well cared for at home. Scholarships for military spouses are a way that schools can reward military spouses for their selfless dedication and support during a time when Americans are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Military spouses with high school-age children should know that some schools also have military dependent scholarships, which offers the children of military personnel discounted tuition on career education. Allied Schools, www.education4military.com
