Joining Forces, a national initiative to recognize, honor and support our military families

Our military service members represent only 1 percent of our population, but they shoulder the responsibility of protecting our entire Nation. Missing birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and so many of the daily moments we spend with the people we love, they make incredible sacrifices. But, they do not make them alone.

This Memorial Day, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Bideb are asking Americans to honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed so much for our country by supporting our military families and veterans.  You can join in by sending a note of thanks to our military families.  For more information, visit: JoiningForces.gov
