<h4>The Southwest Military Family Support Center</h4>
<p>The Southwest Military Family Support Center was established to reduce the stress for both the service member and their family by providing a way for the community to express its gratitude by providing services, volunteering, or making donations to assist service members and their families while they are deployed. The staff and volunteers of the center want to help military families stay connected to the community while their loved one is deployed and help them cope with the stress of deployment. <a href="http://www.milfamily.org/">www.milfamily.org</a></p>
<h4>Military Spouse Residency Relief Act</h4>
<p>On November 11, 2009, the President signed into law the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act. This Act, among other things, provides that when a service member leaves his or her home State in accord with military or naval orders, the service member's spouse may retain residency in his or her home State for voting and tax purposes, after relocating from that State to accompany the service member. In the State of Virginia an exemption from Virginia withholding tax may be claimed if an employees spouse is a member of the U.S. Armed Services and their state of legal residence is not Virginia.
