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. 

Announcing our August

Rochelle Mills

“Rochelle Mills, to website. Rochelle has chosen to make her donation to the VFW Foundation.

says Rochelle “Being a military spouse has been a terrific experience. I have had the pleasure of working with so many families working with EFMP in several branches and have met some of the most wonderful spouses. The friendships are a lifetime.”

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!”

“I want to nominate my wife, Paulina, because she deserves appreciation for everything she does. She left her country and her family behind to move with me to the US. She started volunteering for the USO. Giving back to soldiers and their families made her so happy and fulfilled, she decided to make it her mission to support soldiers. She is applying for a Master’s program in Military Social Work so she can further support the military community. I love her and I think she deserves it.”

Nominee: Ellen Prescott
Nominator: Bennie Prescott

“I am proud to nominate my wife, Ellen, for recognition. Through 14 years of marriage and three deployments, she has shown unwavering commitment to our family and community. As the backbone of our family, she has maintained order despite the challenges of frequent moves and a demanding career. Her selflessness, sacrifice, and passion have enabled me to carry out my orders every day. Ellen’s resilience and dedication are an inspiration, and I believe she embodies the spirit of a true military spouse.”

Nominee: Crystal Stupar
Nominator: Michael Stupar

She is the epitome of what an Army spouse is. First of all I cant thank her enough for being the rock for our family through all my deployments. She was a FRG leader for my company supporting the troops and their families all hours of days and nights. Many soldiers would come to her with problems, she would stop what she was doing and help them. She has a heart of gold and is so amazing to everyone.
