Congratulations to Military Spouse of the Year 2012, Jeremy Hilton

Congratulations to Jeremy Hilton the 2012 Military Spouse of the Year 

Hilton was the 2012 Air Force Spouse of the Year, to Lieutenant Colonel Renae Hilton of Joint Base Andrews, Va. His area of focus is advocating for military families impacted by illness or disability.

With the power of the Military Spouse of the Year organization behind him, he’s excited about pushing further with his ongoing efforts to better the lives of military families involved in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), dealing with medical challenges or caring for wounded warriors. He currently coordinates a national push for legislation and has spoken before the Congressional Military Family Caucus, numerous congressional delegations and staffers on the Armed Services Committee, HELP Committee, Judiciary Committee and in the White House. Jeremy’s objective is to ensure that policy issues are fixed to guarantee that military families are treated equitably in spite of any special needs circumstances. Through baseguide.com and Military Spouse magazine, he will be able to communicate directly with military spouses throughout the community about progress on these crucial issues.

In his own words: “We’re standing on the shoulders of the spouses who came before us and got us to the spot we’re at… I’ve told more than a couple of people that we have an obligation to advance the ball 10 more yards down the field for the next folks.”
