Military Family Month is celebrated every November. It recognizes and honors military families for their numerous contributions and daily sacrifices to the Army and the nation.
The observance was established by the Armed Services YMCA in 1996.
The Army recognizes and appreciates the tremendous service, patriotism, and sacrifices of Army families. Soldiers receive an incredible strength from Army families who make selfless contributions to support the warriors and the nation.
Army families often endure unique challenges of persistent conflicts, relocations, and numerous separations while supporting Soldiers with personal courage and pride. Programs that support the Total Force remain a top priority to mitigate the challenges of military life, foster life skills, strengthen resilience, and promote a strong and ready Army.
This results in families feeling important, supported, and connected to the Army and the nation.
The Army is committed to the quality of life of Soldiers and Families and provides a diverse network of programs and serves to enhance life skill competencies.
Family programs and services include child and youth programs, sports, recreation and fitness, spouse employment assistance, Army family team building, financial readiness training, survivor support, mobilization and deployment support, and relocation assistance.
Military Family Month is an opportunity for Army leadership to collaborate with garrisons, community leaders, and local businesses to conduct observances, events, and awareness campaigns throughout the month of November.
Fort McCoy’s Army Community Service (ACS) Center often host events and activities in observance of Military Family Month. ACS events are open to military members, retirees, civilian workforce, Family members, and registered Fort McCoy volunteers unless otherwise stated.
