No, June is not Military Appreciation Month. May is officially designated as National Military Appreciation Month in the United States, established by Congress in 1999 to honor the contributions and sacrifices of current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces. It includes specific observances like Loyalty Day (May 1), VE Day (May 8), Military Spouse Appreciation Day (the Friday before Mother’s Day), Armed Forces Day (third Saturday in May), and Memorial Day (last Monday in May).
November was designated as National Veterans and Military Families Month through a series of presidential proclamations, not a specific act of Congress. The observance began in 1996 when the Armed Services YMCA established it as Military Family Month, and it has been recognized annually by U.S. presidents since then. In 2016, President Barack Obama expanded the designation to National Veterans and Military Families Month through a presidential proclamation, emphasizing the contributions and sacrifices of both veterans and their families.
While Congress did not pass legislation to establish this observance, presidential proclamations have consistently declared November as National Veterans and Military Families Month, and these proclamations are supported by various congressional actions that honor veterans and military families, such as resolutions and events tied to Veterans Day (November 11). For example, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal entities, like Military OneSource, actively promote this month-long observance, reflecting broad governmental support.
I thought June was already military appreciation month
Tomorrow is D-Day, the 14th is Flag Day and the Army's Birthday (and the current CIC's birthday)
Exactly...and Army's birthday and of course:
POTUS' Birthday
Added!

I should get another flag. A local auto parts store has the flags of all the branches hung up. Except, they don't have Space Force.
Order on line...
