United Concordia sponsored a table and attended the 2006 "Heroes at Home" Military
Spouse Awards for the Hampton Roads, VA area. The entire event was sponsored by
Military Newspapers of Virginia, and held at the Norfolk, VA Waterside Marriott
Hotel on May 12, 2006.
This event, according to the sponsors, "allows the military and civilian
community to honor the hardest working member of our Armed
Forces – the Military Spouse."
The Spouse of the Year was chosen from nominees provided by military personnel,
spouse support groups, friends and family. Nominations came from
all over the United States, as well as places as distant as
Afghanistan. Fifteen finalists, including this year's Spouse
of the Year recipient, from the Air Force, Army, Coast
Guard, Navy, and Marine Corps were recognized at this event.
United Concordia was honored to attend the 2006 Military Spouse
Awards and salutes all military spouses in addition to
military families, and service members.
Laura Baxter, Publisher, Military Newspapers of Virginia, congratulates the
2006 Military Spouse of the Year, Lorraine Richards. Mrs. Richards is the spouse
of Engineman's Mate Chief James Richards, USN.
