Wow. I am one of the top 3 finalist for the US Coast Guard and am in great company with all of the branch winners and other finalist. This is truly an honor and I can't thank everyone who voted enough for your time and support.

The support of the military community is unbelievable. "The Armed Forces Insurance Military Spouse of the Year® initiative embodies more than just recognition; it fosters a supportive community. One key lesson from my experience is the undeniable power of solidarity," shares Lori Simmons, VP, Chief Growth & Marketing Officer at Armed Forces Insurance. "The bonds formed within this program among MSOY alumni and newcomers create enduring connections. We encourage the nomination of any spouse making significant contributions to highlight their efforts."
