Gov. Nikki Haley Announces the Month of the Military Spouse
May 9, 2015
COLUMBIA, SC – Governor Nikki Haley today issued a proclamation designating May 2015 the Month of the Military Spouse, encouraging all South Carolinians to honor the courage and sacrifice of our military spouses.
“With deep dedication and selfless sacrifice, military spouses act as both mother and father during deployments, serve as caregivers to wounded veterans, and make untold contributions to their families and the communities in which they live,” read the governor’s proclamation.
The governor’s proclamation recognizes the important roles military spouses play in geographically dispersed communities throughout South Carolina and the unique challenges they face without always having access to the military support systems that are present on military bases
