THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

While your spouse serves in the militry it's important to remember that you are serving in the miliary too.  Welcome to USA Homeschool Association.  I'm Donna Blas Cartwright, Director of USA Homeschool Association.  

As a MilSpouse for 15 years, I volunteered as a Family Readiness Officer.  I served hundreds of military families, providing vital support, resources, and giving them a strong sense of community. In San Diego, CA, I served the famlies of a deployed ship and even gave birth while my spouse was deployed.  In Beaufort, SC, at Parris Island, I had the honor of the CO and his wife ask me to volunteer as the family readiness officer for the Weapon's Battalion.  

The friends I made then are my lifelong friends.  I was the bridge between the command and the families; I offered guidance, organized events, and ensured families felt connected, informed, and cared for during times of transition and service.  

I urge you to embrace your military journey and realize that you have the best of both worlds.  While you're securing the HomeFront your spouse will be relieved and can focus on their mission.  You will build up your confidence, sense of independence,  be an inspiration to your children, and be part of something greater than you, our great country, the mighty United States of America.

Mission First!  Oorah!
