                               RESOLUTION


 
     Designating May 11, 2018, as Military Spouse Appreciation Day.

Whereas the month of May marks National Military Appreciation Month;
Whereas the Senate recognizes military spouses' dedication of a lifetime of 
        love, support, and patriotism that helps make the service and sacrifice 
        of the men and women in the Armed Forces possible;
Whereas military spouses have been separated from loved ones because of the duty 
        of our Armed Forces to protect our Nation and its interests through 
        deployment in support of overseas contingency operations and other 
        military missions;
Whereas the establishment of Military Spouse Appreciation Day honors the 
        dedication and contributions of spouses of members of the Armed Forces; 
        and
Whereas, May 11, 2018, would be an appropriate date to establish as ``Military 
        Spouse Appreciation Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates May 11, 2018, as ``Military Spouse 
        Appreciation Day'';
            (2) honors and recognizes the dedication and contributions 
        made by spouses of members of the Armed Forces; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        Military Spouse Appreciation Day to promote awareness of the 
        dedication and contributions of spouses of members of the Armed 
        Forces and the importance of the role of military spouses in 
        the lives of members of the Armed Forces and veterans.
