What is Military Appreciation Month?

Military Appreciation Month is observed each year from May 1–31 and was designated by Congress in 1999 as a time to honor and recognize the service and sacrifice of U.S. military members—past and present. Each year, a presidential proclamation encourages Americans to show their appreciation and support. 

Throughout the month, several important observances take place:

Military Spouse Appreciation Day

Memorial Day
