May is Military Appreciation Month. Compensation for this post was provided by Chevrolet via MSB New Media. All opinions expressed in this piece are my own. I'm sure if you have a loved one in the armed forces every month is appreciation month. I have several family members and friends in the military and KC is an Air Force wife. My step brother is a M1 Armor Crewman with the U.S. Army National Guard. I also have Navy and Marine friends too. KC, her husband and their two boys have been stationed in Germany for a couple years now. They get to come home at the end of July! We are all excited. I have been friends with her husband since high school. I remember dropping him off when he joined the Air Force. Man that feels like so long ago. Because of all of my family members and wonderful friends I know that freedom really doesn't come free. They sacrifice so much for others. It takes a special kind of person to be willing to give so much sometimes even their own lives to protect the freedom of others.

ChevySalutes Military Appreciation Month

Chevrolet has made the commitment to serve those who have served with the ChevySalutes program during the month of May. During the month of May Chevy is offering military discounts to all military personnel including Veterans, retirees, active duty and reserves as well as the military spouses. Chevrolet also supports our military in other ways.

Chevy and its dealers are proud to give back to those who give so much of their selves for their country. Chevrolet supports the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans, works with Cellphones for Soldiers, has helped employ over 60,000 veterans with Hiring Our Heroes, and is the proud official vehicle of the Army-Navy game presented by USAA.
