Military Spouses Advocate on Capitol Hill
We’re kicking off National Military Appreciation Month on Capitol Hill. Through Operation Advocacy, 25 military spouses are meeting with congressional staff and lawmakers to share what military family life really looks like. From employment to healthcare, housing, and child care, their voices help ensure real experiences shape policy decisions.

Operation Purple® Camp and the Operation Purple® Summer Challenge begin in just a few weeks. Families can still join the camp waitlist or register for the free eight-week virtual program, where military kids build friendships, strengthen resilience, and connect from anywhere.
