"GRAND JUNCTION (KJCT)- For men and women with loved ones in the military, friends with similar experiences help keep them strong.
That's what Military Family Day is all about-- bringing this extended military family together for a good time.
The Colorado National Guard Family Program held an event Sunday with other military groups to thank service members and their families for their sacrifices.
The Grand Valley Blue Star Mothers were decked out in red, white and blue-- with pictures of their military children close by.
"A lot of it is, especially with the deployed families, that they have their loved ones gone and their left out of a lot of things that happen because they're not a complete family unit now while they're home," said Wendy Hoffman of Blue Star Mothers.
"They understand me. I walk in the room, they know exactly what I'm going through. They don't have to ask me how you doing, how does it feel, how's it going with the boys, how is school," said Suzanne Bronson, a wife of a deployed soldier.
Families enjoyed food, games, live music and fun giveaways. But the big hit with most kids was getting a chance to sit in the front seat of a military hummer. "
