Col. Jun S. Oh spoke at the event and told attendees, “Your sacrifice is a foundation upon which our military stands,” and “Without your strength at home, our service members could not focus on their critical missions abroad.” He also said, “You are the unseen force multiplier of our armed forces.”

The setup at the base put the focus on access as much as recognition. By handling childcare, the Military and Family Readiness Center made it possible for parents to stay in the room for workshops and resource information instead of splitting attention between the event and their children.
