"Heard about you from Navy Times. My wife takes care of our son and daughter through it all. She is my hero! Thank you for your efforts -- an active duty Navy officer." - Matthew, Suffolk, VA
"As an active duty daughter of an active duty father, I have spent my entire life exposed to the difficulties and trials of military spouses. These men and women take so much on themselves while their significant others are deployed--not to mention the devastation visited upon them when their loved ones do not make it home alive or untouched. I think this is a fantastic (and much needed) idea, and am honestly very surprised it has not already been done. Thank you for filling a need that has been overlooked/ignored for far too long!" - Angee, Alexandria, VA
"I attended this mornings event and was truly touched by this. I am a Marine Corps Spouse and also work as the Marine Corps Family Team Building Coordinator for Camp Allen, helping support Marine Corps commands and families throughout Hampton Roads. I will sincerley do all that is possible to get such a great memorial built in honor of the great spouses of the past and present. What a great idea! Please let me know if there is anything I can display in my building for my spouses to see! Thank you and God Bless!" - Kristin W, Hampton, VA

"After hearing about you on the local country station (97.3 the Eagle), I knew that I had to find out more about this initiative. After looking at this site, I cannot express how much I support you in this endeavor. As a Navy wife, it is wonderful to see others like myself acknowledged. So often people don't understand the struggles that come with having a spouse in the military, it is great to have the hard work that I and others put into supporting our husbands and wives and making our marriages work acknowledged. Thank you!" - Niki W, Hampton, VA
"I heard y'all on 97.3 The Eagle and really support what you guys are doing! I am not only a navy wife, but also a navy member.

"I think this is a great idea! I am a Navy wife and people sometimes forget how hard it is for us while our men are gone!

It's a tough job being a Military Spouse but I wouldn't trade it for the world!" - Amanda B, Newport News, VA
"I just want to say THANK YOU!!! Being a military wife is truly the toughest job. I am a Navy wife and very proud to stand behind this project!!! Keep up the good work!!" - Leah, Virginia Beach, VA
“My father was in the Navy for 30 yrs. Thru all the deployments, ups and downs, good times and bad my mother was always there. She helds us together as a family. It wasn't always easy for her. We could some of the stress she was under,but it never stopped her. I love her for her sacrifices and strength. My parents are now retired and enjoying the time they finally get to spend together. After 53 yrs. of marriage both say they wouldn't change a thing. I'm the lucky one, I have 2 heros MY PARENTS.” – Patricia G. of Chesapeake, VA
