Today is a day to honor our nation’s veterans for the sacrifices they have made in their lives. But lets take a moment to honor the sacrifices of their spouses as well.

A few months ago I had the pleasure of interviewing business coach Royale Scuderi, a military spouse and founder of the Guard Wife blog. The job description for the role of military spouse is not for the faint of heart. Being a military spouse requires patience, empathy, the ability to multi-task, and a sense of humor. You can read Scuderi’s tips for succeeding in the role of military spouse here  and thank you to all veterans and military spouses for all you have sacrificed to help protect our country.
