Spouse Recognition - Outstanding Military Wife
Ms Smith has distinguished herself by putting the needs of everyone above herself, never faltering when others needed her help or advice. She has accompanied us on multiple deployments to stations around the world, far from family and support, where she endured lonliness, loss of career, hostile fire, less than desirable living conditions, and never ending demands on her time. Ms Smith braved numerous missions and navigated unchartered airports alone, without benefit of support, with courage and bravery that inspired and sustained those who depended on her. She kept the troops supplied with nourishment, clean and serviceable clothing and was often the only person with the maturity to make unpopular but necessary command decisions. The heroic accomplishments of Ms Smith serve as an example to all who knew her and reflect great credit upon herself, the Wolverines, and the United States Army.
