Military spouses and dependents are the inspiration behind an initiative launched Tuesday by first lady Michelle Obama.

The mission of “Joining Forces,” launched by Obama and Jill Biden, is to make more Americans aware of the challenges facing military families, and to highlight ways communities, organizations and businesses are helping these families. Obama and Biden also will travel across the country to highlight the service of military families.
