Service CU’s Military Spouse of the Month

The Support Behind the Forces
Are the Spouses

Join Service CU in recognizing those who are serving from home. 

Military spouses enable the mission by maintaining everything back home, and at Service CU, we acknowledge the selflessness, sacrifice and passion that military spouses demonstrate. Every spouse deserves recognition for being the support behind the forces, and we want to recognize their unmatched commitment to this country and to the military.  

Military spouses are the behind-the-scenes power that keeps the everyday in order, so that their soldier can complete their orders every day.

“My Experience as a Military wife has been a Beautiful Journey. I’ve taken on a lot of roles which requires patience, adaptability , love and understanding. I cherish the memories of supporting my service member and enjoying the blessings and adventures that’s comes with the military lifestyle.”

Yana Sukharieva

“Being a military spouse means being a part of a big military community that supports all its members. In difficult moments, I experienced good support from command. Sacrifice is another part of life for military spouses. We put supporting our spouses in front of our own careers. With dynamic military lifestyle, it’s hard to concentrate on building own careers. Winning this money will help us with basic needs for our newborn daughter Victoria. She was born just a little over 3 weeks ago in May.”

Ruth O’Neil

“To me being a military spouse means embracing a life of adaptability and adventure. It’s about navigating the ever-changing terrain of challenges and victories, and finding strength in the camaraderie of fellow spouses. From creating a sense of home wherever duty calls to celebrating the small wins along the way, being a military spouse is a journey defined by resilience and resourcefulness. I am honored and blessed to be a military spouse and support my husband and the country I love in this capacity!”

Alexandra Alth

Writes Marie Alth of her wife, Alexandra: “My wife has been my biggest supporter since the beginning, sacrificing everything to ensure I do my best. She comes with me to so many events and gives of herself without complaint. I wouldn’t be here without her.”

Christina Sayers

Christina Sayers Christina’s husband, Marco, said this about his wife “I am nominating my wife, Christina, who I can’t imagine my military career without. She is the backbone of our family and is reliable, attentive, supportive, and always up for the adventure of being a military wife. We have a two year old and another one on the way, and Christina makes every day fun and happy. I nominate my wife for Military Spouse of the Month so she can do something for herself for once. She gave up her career and office for us to live in Germany, and I am thankful.”
