Mothers Of Military Support & National Guard Family and Friends

We hope you enjoy this blog  made specifically for those families and friends involved in the WA State National Guard.

Whether your soldier is just joining the military or has boots on ground in conflict areas, this blog is for you.

**Talk about anything that you would like but keep in mind, this is a FAMILY and friends board ***

Welcome to our  Family Community message board.  

As a mother and daughter of Veterans, I understand how tough it can be at times not knowing who to turn to or where to go to get information. 

Just finding someone that was going through the same as I was or understood what I was talking about or thinking, seemed unattainable.

With the Washington State National Guard Community Web Journal provided here, we hope to open up the lines of communication for you.  Whether your soldier is preparing to enter bootcamp, preparing to deploy, been injured, or is now a Veteran, this is the safe place for you to openly discuss your concerns, share what’s going on in your life, as well as your Soldiers, and/or offer information to other families and friends that helped you get through an enlistment.

Having family in the military certainly proves to be a journey full of ups and downs.  The common thread we all share is how proud we are of our military family members.

GodSpeed to all our men and women in harms way.  We are proud of each and every one of them.

If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us @ 4vets@momsservices.org or militaryassistance@momssservices.org
