Nominate a deserving military spouse TODAY!

Do you know an amazing military spouse? Military Spouse magazine wants to know about him or her. The call for nominations for “Military Spouse of the Year” started last week, and lasts until December 7th. You can nominate anyone who is married to a member of the military. Military Spouse magazine looks for qualities like “impact on community change, volunteerism, personal sacrifice, education” when considering the winner.
  
Military Spouse magazine announces open nominations for the 2012 Military Spouse of the Year (MSOY) award sponsored by Armed Forces Insurance. Now in its fifth year, the award honors military spouses from all branches of service and all ranks. The awards ceremony has grown in scope to include the Legislative Impact Award and Gabby Giffords’ Award for Courage and Bravery. In keeping with the White House’s Joining Forces initiative, Military Spouse magazine is encouraging both the military community as well as all Americans to consider nominating their friends, relatives, neighbors or colleagues for this prestigious honor. 

Nominations can be submitted at http://www.milspouse.com/msoy through December 14th. A winner from each of the five military branches will be chosen through an online vote in January. The overall 2012 MSOY winner will be selected from the five service winners in a subsequent online vote in February. The 2012 MSOY will be honored at the fifth annual awards luncheon on May 10, 2012 in Washington, D.C. In 2011 the MSOY Awards were honored by the attendance of Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC), Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Medal of Honor Recipient Major Drew Dix, USA and the spouses of all ten senior officers and senior enlisted in every service branch.

“I encourage anyone who knows an exemplary military spouse to nominate him or her for this national merit-based award,” says Maxwell. “It is the perfect way to give back and recognize those who have given so much.”
