April is the month of the military child. The life of a military-connected child is one of constant change. In addition to the typical stressors of being a kid, a military child faces a unique set of challenges, including separation during deployment and being relocated across the country – or even the world.
Being a military child means always having to adjust and adapt to an array of changes, and that’s not an easy task!
Wearing purple is a visible way for everyone to show support and thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices.
Wear Purple on Wednesday, April 17th!
Here are some resources for families -
