I logged in over 900 volunteer hours and I barely received a glass award from the 6th commander who had no idea where my husband worked, never mind who I was. That said colonel also managed to give a volunteer the Order of the Dragon award (the local prestigious award) to someone who logged in a mere 60 volunteer hours. I do not volunteer for an award but when I do have the time to volunteer it is nice to be noticed. Hello,

During Desert Sheild/ Storm. It was one of my greatest Awards I have received. First of all at the time my husband was a E-2 so there goes the meth that you have to be a Officers Wife to received this. Everything I did for my husband and the troops and thier amazing Families was not done thinking I would get something from doing it. The things I did to some may seam simple but for others it was alot. One thing I know is that Military wives find strength within and when two or more join together its like having a Home Front Bergade. I hope you will always be Proud of your Award as I am. and always remember the time in witch you unknowingly earned it.

I've logged thousands of volunteer hours without a single thought of award. The point was merely that I took a pseudonym unawares of the award and thought it would be neat to actual have the award I had named myself after unawares. If you have nothing better to do than to anonymously criticize a person who spends more time volunteering than many do working, maybe you have enough time to go volunteer some more yourself.

If your purpose behind volunteering is to be put on a pedestal, if all you want in the end is recognition, I suggest you find something else to do with your precious time. Most of us volunteer for the satisfaction of serving others. And I wholeheartedly agree with mp2.

There is a "Molly Pitcher" site, for attachment. If you rec'd the award, add your info to the list of the few, the proud, the spouse/service member. It is worth it. See you there.

I must admit, I was surprised. I had done 20+ years of service as the spouse and had rec'd. multiple awards for service in things like the Army Family Team Building (facilitator/trainer), Community of Life (housing mayer), JAG, Family Support, Cub Scouts and American Red Cross. I was honored with all of the awards, as always. But, the Molly Pitcher Award was such an honor. The military should be sure that the receipents of this award are more informed of the honor it holds. Without looking, it is not very available within the unit. Thank you to those that honored me with such an unexpected valued and cherrished memory. With ending up divorced, it is my most cherrished memory of this difficult time in my life. Congrats to all fellow honorees.

In my husband's old active duty unit, it sometimes depended on space available. Senior officers and their wives were expected to attend, award recipients, Junior officers, senior NCOs, and their wives might be invited, strongly encouraged, or not invited at all depending on the year.
