There have been inquiries (amazed how rude some have been about it😏) to the “Gold Rose Award” on my account. Here it is~ straight from MICA:
~Golden Rose Award
This award is intended to recognize a spouse whose volunteer service contributes substantially to the mission accomplishment of a Military Intelligence (MI) unit, activity, command, or staff agency. Established in 2004 by MICA in support of the MI Corps, the Golden Rose Award is not intended for recognition of a single, short-term event or contribution. It is a prestigious award to recognize volunteer service that makes a substantial contribution to the MI Corps and has a positive impact on the quality of life of soldiers and their families.
Eligibility:
*The spouse of any MI Professional (officer, warrant officer, enlisted soldier of civilian) may receive the Golden Rose Award.
*A nominee must have demonstrated exemplary volunteer service in support of the MI Community and the Army family. Eligibility criteria are listed below:
*A nomination will cover at least one year of service within the unit submitting the nomination.
Service or achievement should result in tangible benefits to the MI Community.

A nominee will have exhibited outstanding leadership in planning, organizing, or directing a program or made a significant contribution in carrying out of a program or programs.
A nominee will have established a demonstrable pattern of service excellence and achievement.
Long periods of service do not of themselves constitute sufficient basis for conferring this award.
~~This is a once in a lifetime award
