Proclamation 10391 of May 5, 2022
Military Spouse Appreciation Day, 2022
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Military spouses are the rock on which their families,
our military community, and our national security
depend. Though most do not wear a uniform themselves,
they serve and strengthen our Nation every day--
providing our brave troops with support, comfort, and
love. They build communities of strength on bases
around the world to care for our military family,
pitching in wherever they see a need that is unmet. On
Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we recognize the
nearly one million military spouses and their vital
contributions to our Nation. We are grateful for their
selfless sacrifice and inspired by their strength,
fortitude, and courage.
Today, America's military spouses are a constellation
of diverse individuals with unique backgrounds and the
common attribute of uncommon resilience. Like their
service members, they too represent the best of who we
are as Americans. Military spouses know what it means
to make sacrifices in defense of our ideals and
freedoms. And they live with the hardship of having
their life partner deployed away from home--juggling
all the responsibilities of work and family while
saying an extra prayer every morning that their spouse
returns home safely.
Even during the most demanding circumstances, military
spouses continue to serve, creating innovative
solutions to meet the challenges we face as a Nation.
Today, military spouses serve in dynamic leadership
roles across all sectors--using their own experiences
to support the needs of the communities around them.
With enthusiasm and an entrepreneurial spirit, military
spouses create businesses and support systems that
serve the needs of others.
The Biden family is a military family, and caring for
our Nation's military spouses is something that Jill
and I both deeply understand. While our Nation can
never fully repay the debt we owe to our service
members and their families, caregivers, and survivors,
it is our sacred obligation to make sure that they
receive the care and support they have earned. Through
the First Lady's Joining Forces initiative, my
Administration is strengthening support for military
families in three critical areas: military spouse
employment and entrepreneurship, military child
education, and the well-being of military families. We
continue to seek new and better ways to do more to
address the needs of our military families, especially
responding to the needs of military spouses with
resources and services that allow them to thrive in all
aspects of life.
On Military Spouse Appreciation Day and every day, we
are grateful for the extraordinary service and
sacrifice of America's military spouses. May we
continue to lift their voices, invest in their talents,
and respond to their unique needs in ways that ease
their challenges and enable them to reach their goals
and aspirations. May God bless our military families,
caregivers, and survivors, and may God protect our
troops.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 6, 2022,
as Military Spouse Appreciation Day. I call upon the
people of the United States to honor military spouses
with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand
twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and forty-sixth.
