Shining Star Recognition

We often fail to recognize positive experiences in our day-to-day lives that help connect us to our environment and the people within it. The power of community can help combat the sense of isolation that may be felt among LGBTQ+ and HIV+ service members, veterans, and their family members.

If you have a positive interaction to share as an LGBTQ+ or HIV+ service member, military spouse/family member, or veteran, we want to know. Your positive recognition and examples of allyship allow others within our community to identify safe spaces and supportive individuals at military installations, VA facilities, service organizations, and other groups.
