Take the survey today and share your story.
Since 2009, the MFLS has brought issues affecting military families to the attention of lawmakers, national leaders, philanthropic actors, and local communities. The MFLS compiles anecdotal and statistical data from thousands of servicemembers and military families covering topics such as finances, family stability, discrimination, deployments, voting, spouse education and employment, and much more. The MFLS is the largest and most comprehensive survey of active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve servicemembers, veterans, and their families.
More than 11,000 people responded to the 2020 survey, allowing Blue Star Families to identify five key issues for active-duty families. While these issues are not new revelations, the survey results add valuable statistics to support the need for enhanced programs and legislation that serve military families.
The 2021 MFLS opened April 27 and runs through June 6. All servicemembers, past and present, and their family members can participate. This survey takes 25-30 minutes to complete, and all responses are confidential. Any quotes or text responses will be non-attributional.

The results of Blue Star Families’ previous surveys have sparked important conversations and initiatives to enhance the lives of military families. From spouse employment to military housing, these conversations result in positive movement toward increased opportunities and lasting change.
