SPOUSES JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!

For active duty members, Service begins when you raise your hand to take an oath to your country. For spouses, Service begins when you extend your hand to take a vow of marriage. Thank you to all military spouses for serving your nation. For your selfless dedication, patriotism and sacrifice—I salute you.

GK has two amazing clubs for spouses: International Spouses Club (ISC) and American Spouses of Geilenkirchen (ASGK). Both host fun-filled social events every month where spouses meet other spouses from every corner of the world. For ISC, each month is hosted by a different nation that shares their culture and great food. For ASGK, a key goal is to help support the American community with a welcoming environment for spouses to connect with other spouses and share info such as tips on local shopping and events. ASGK’s biggest event of the year is the Foggy Fields Bazaar. Money raised from the bazaar goes back to the community through scholarships and donations to other organizations. 14 NATO Skywatch 30 May 2016
