It's National New Friend Day!

Today is National New Friend Day! What better way to highlight this day, than to share this testimonial from a program participant. This is one of the most common responses we get from the participants in our programs. They are so grateful to meet other military spouses going through the same struggles that they are. It helps them to learn how to handle situations, and lets them feel like they are not alone! And it often times can bring new, lifelong friends into their lives.
