Summary: The first African American woman to call the White House home offers words of support to hundreds of thousands of unsung heroes on Military Spouse Appreciation Day. “We have to invest in our military, their families, and our veterans in a real meaningful way,” she tells Department of Defense New Media host Liz Murray. “I just saw the results of a recent survey done by Blue Star Families that shows that 94 percent of military families feel as if the country doesn’t understand their challenges. That’s a pretty powerful statement… In terms of our spouses, the administration is investing $80 million just for career development and training for spouses, which is critical.”
