Good morning, My name is Carolyn Clark,
and I am a research specialist at the VA Medical Center in Memphis, TN. We are currently recruiting spouses for our Spouse Deployed program which is funded by the Department of Defense and the Memphis VAMC. We are trying to spread the word about our program and were wondering if you might be able to post our information or forward it on to any spouses you think might benefit from our study. It's a year-long research study for military spouses or significant others from any military branch across the country. The service member must currently be deployed for the spouse to participate. The purpose is to evaluate the benefits of a Telephone Support Group and Education Sessions designed to help with deployment concerns. Spouses will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.

An important part of any move for TRICARE beneficiaries is updating their DEERS information to make sure their health care follows them to their new address.

WASHINGTON, May 9, 2013 - President Barack Obama has issued a proclamation declaring May 10 as Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
Here is the text of the president's proclamation:
As long as there have been courageous men and women willing to protect our Union and our ideals, there have been extraordinary spouses at their side -- patriots in their own right who serve and sacrifice in ways many cannot fathom. They are moms and dads who take up the work of two during deployments, shuffling their careers and packing up their lives whenever our nation calls. They are dedicated employees at our businesses, committed volunteers in our communities, and essential caretakers for our wounded warriors. America's military spouses are at the core of our Armed Forces, and on Military Spouse Appreciation Day, we celebrate their contributions to keeping our country safe.
