Bonnie Amos, wife of Commandant of the Marine Corps

Bonnie Amos, wife of Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos, talks about her recent trip to visit Marines overseas during a military spouses’ conference here Jan. 31, 2013. Mrs. Amos spent the holidays in December 2012 traveling to different posts throughout Afghanistan in an effort to experience deployment life with Marines and convey it in her own words to military spouses on the home front. She said she believes the reason Marines have such high esprit de corps is due to the love and support they receive from their families back home. Mrs. Amos traveled with Gen. Amos, and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Micheal P. Barrett.
