Military spouses are the backbone of our military. Their quiet sacrifices should not go
unacknowledged — having to uproot their lives to support their military member and deal with the constant stress of deployments and temporary duty assignments. These circumstances often mean moving every 2-3 years, leaving family and friends behind, which makes it difficult to establish careers and community. This special NY Fashion Week event will highlight military spouses, their sacrifices and perseverance. These are the type of role-models who should be in the spotlight.
