Military Spouse Day, 2026

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation designating May 8, 2026, as Military Spouse Day. The proclamation formally honors military spouses for the support and sacrifices they make while service members carry out their duties, including managing frequent moves, long deployments, and family separation. It also states that the administration remains committed to improving support for military families in areas such as employment, housing, childcare, healthcare, and education. The proclamation was issued to recognize military spouses’ role in supporting the Armed Forces and, in turn, the country’s defense.
