PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) February 01, 2017 -- Nominations are in for nearly 500 nominees for the 2017 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year® award presented by Military Spouse Magazine. All Americans are encouraged to meet the men and women now and VOTE February 2-9 to determine this year’s base winners across Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and National Guard branches of service. Candidates for this this nationally recognized, prestigious award can be viewed at http://msoy.militaryspouse.com/vote.
Individual Base- and Branch-level winners will be selected through a combination of voting results open to all Americans and a judges’ panel. Last year, thousands of people participated in voting, resulting in a Spouse of the Year from 184 bases and 9 Coast Guard districts. The 2017 Base winners will be announced Monday, February 13, followed by the Top 18 announced on Wednesday, February 15.
“This year we celebrate our tenth anniversary of the MSOY program and couldn’t be prouder of the hundreds of military spouses who have been nominated for their dedication to our military communities and to America,” said Suzie Schwartz, President of Military Spouse Programs.
The 2017 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year® award recognizes the vital role played by the force behind our nation’s service members: Military Spouses. These men and women and their families are our nation’s volunteers in many ways that civilians never take into account. They have volunteered to serve as the voice for their service members, communities and families while facing unique challenges associated with military life. In every way military spouses are making important contributions to America and its protection and defense.
Branch and final voting will take place in late February and March, with the 2017 Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year® being recognized during a live V.I.P. event and award ceremony hosted in Washington DC this May.
“It has been an honor for Armed Forces Insurance (AFI) to have sponsored the award over the last 10 years. We’ve formed a lifelong relationship with our amazing military spouse community. Their resilience, selfless service and dedication go beyond description.
