MPFC Celebrates Pride With Our Wonderful Families

Supporting LGBT Military Families. MPFC received this heartwarming note from a military family. "I was so excited to meet a great group of people this past weekend at VA Pridefest in Richmond, VA... I was so touched. I always thought I was so alone in the world being a woman married to a woman in the Army and all of the struggles that came with it. The idea that there are others out there like me was so heartwarming... I am so glad to hear that there are others like me and I can't wait to meet them. I would really like to meet up with any other locals (in the Richmond Metro greater area)."
