&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Military life is a shared commitment.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Behind many servicemembers is a spouse who has navigated deployments, relocations, career changes, and the constant unknown with resilience and strength. Military spouses are planners, problem-solvers, and steady anchors for their families, often while building careers of their own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;At &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.aafmaatrust.com" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;AAFMAA Wealth Management &amp;amp; Trust LLC(AWM&amp;amp;T)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;, we’re proud to have military spouses on our team&lt;/span&gt; who bring not only professional dedication, but&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; lived experience to the families we serve&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We’re recognizing a few of the spouses who continue to support the military community, both in their personal lives and through their work today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
