So what have you planned to honor the spouses in your community? It is not too late.
Simple ideas but a moment to say Thanks
If you see the flash of their ID as they make a transaction be sure to thank them!
Perhaps set out a bowl of chocolates with a little note of thanks for any military-spouses that walk through your doors.
Of course they give so much more but just an acknowledgement that they are appreciated can put a smile on their face.
Another idea: You could put a sign on your store-front: "If you are a military spouse come in for a free rose." Have a supply of roses on hand. Don't expect them to buy. Don't make it a sales-pitch opportunity. Just a simple chance to say Thank you.
Place a sign outside of your door: "Military Spouses are the Heart of the Military" Offer a significant discount on their purchase for the day.

I am a military-spouse. I just endured the longest year of my life. A deployment in Iraq left me at home as a single-mom with three growing boys. I missed the love-of-my-life. I handled things at home on my own. But with strength I became stronger! I know there are other spouses out there that want to hear 'Thank You' for keeping the embers at home lit!
