特朗普发表全国军人家庭月致辞：军人配偶委员会8月设立，委员合计544年现役军龄
白宫11月12日发布总统特朗普的全国军人家庭月致辞。特朗普表示，250年来，美国武装部队守护共和国，而军人背后的家庭以支持、关爱与坚韧支撑着他们；全国军人家庭月表彰的正是这些与军人共同走上光荣服役之路的男男女女与孩子。
致辞说，军旅生涯对家庭要求极高：他们要在部署期间守住后方，频繁随驻地调动搬家，在流动生活中找工作、维系职业，还要在陌生学校与社区重新结交朋友。在不断的变化与不确定中，军人家庭练就了非凡的韧性，国家永远感念他们的付出。
作为三军统帅，特朗普表示，维持最高战备标准离不开军人家庭的生活质量与福祉。今年8月，他签署行政令，设立有史以来第一个军人配偶委员会，专门处理长期困扰军人家庭的住房、就业、教育、托儿与部署支持等问题。委员会成员包括各军种部长、参谋长联席会议与各军种高级军士长的配偶，合计拥有544年现役军龄。
特朗普说，对志愿军人的感激若离开对其家庭的肯定就是不完整的；站在每一位军人身边的亲人同样响应了职责召唤、承担同样的牺牲，是世界最强军队的脊梁。第一夫人与他一同向这些非凡的美国人致敬，并为他们、武装部队与国家祈福。（来源：白宫）
Trump Marks National Military Families Month: Military Spouse Commission Formed In August, Members Total 544 Years Of Service
The White House released President Donald J. Trump's message on National Military Families Month on November 12. Trump said that for 250 years the United States Armed Forces have safeguarded the Republic, sustained by the support, love, strength, and grit of their families, and that National Military Families Month celebrates the men, women, parents, and children who are partners in an honorable life of service and sacrifice.
The message notes that military life is demanding for families: they hold firm on the home front during deployments, navigate frequent relocations to duty stations worldwide, strive to find jobs and maintain careers in a nomadic life, and forge new friendships in unfamiliar schools and communities. Amid constant change and uncertainty, military families develop uncommon resilience, and the nation stands forever in their debt.
As Commander in Chief, Trump said the highest standards of military readiness cannot be maintained without prioritizing the quality of life and well-being of military families. In August, he signed an Executive Order establishing the first-ever Military Spouse Commission to address challenges including housing, employment, education, childcare, and deployment-related support. Its members, including spouses of the Service Secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and senior enlisted leaders from every branch, together represent 544 years of active-duty military service.
Trump said gratitude for the all-volunteer force is incomplete without recognition of their families, who answer the same call to duty and form the backbone of the finest military the world has ever known. The First Lady joined him in saluting these Americans and praying for God's continued blessings upon them, the Armed Forces, and the nation. (Source: The White House)
