May 2015 - What's Happening @ LWLC : Military Appreciation Month

Military Appreciation Month

May is National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM) and has been since 1999 when Congress set aside this month to celebrate the nation's military. While we appreciate our military every day, this month has been set aside for people to honor, recognize, and remember those who have served in the military, both present and past.
