                Defense Supply Center Columbus salutes Mamie Torain for her time as an Air Force spouse.  In addition to supporting behind the scenes, Torain is also a federal employee providing audit support for the Army General Fund Team as the lead accountant at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Columbus.                            Mamie Torain                            Defense Supply Center Columbus salutes Mamie Torain for her time as an Air Force spouse.

Spouses are an essential part of the military and contribute to readiness by allowing our service members to remain focused on their missions. 

In 1984, President Ronald Regan declared May 23 as the first Military Spouse Day in Proclamation 5184. The U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger standardized the date by declaring the Friday before Mother's Day as Military Spouse Appreciation Day. In 1999, Congress officially made the observance a part of National Military Appreciation Month.

                Jeffrey and Jill Smith served the country in different ways. Jeffrey is a Navy veteran while Jill assisted on the home front. Jill continues to support the Warfighter as a federal employee at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Columbus where she serves as an accounting technician.                            Jill Smith                            Jeffrey and Jill Smith served the country in different ways.

Spouses are vital to the strength, resilience and readiness of our military communities. They’re actively engaged in our local, civilian communities while helping our service members serve, reintegrate and remain strong.

Today, DLA Land and Maritime would like to take a moment to say thank you to the spouses.
