Watch a special #MilitarySpouseAppreciationDay message from @GarySinise. Today, we recognize the immeasurable contributions military spouses make to support their loved ones as they work to keep our nation secure. Their sacrifices are not forgotten and never taken for granted.
It is wonderful to see the @315AW out Joint Base Charleston and Bill Murray supporting America's favorite pastime!

April 16, 1945: the USS Laffey survived the longest kamikaze attack on a single vessel (80 min). She was hit by bombs, kamikaze planes & strafing fire that killed 32 & wounded 71. The Laffey's fortitude during this attack earned her the name "The Ship That Would Not Die".

Today is Gold Star Spouses' Day. The freedom we enjoy comes at a cost. On this day, our thoughts are with the surviving husbands and wives of fallen service members. You are not forgotten. Pictured here is the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument landside of the USS Yorktown.
