April is an important month for our military families because it is the “Month of the Military Child.” As military spouses, many of us chose to “marry into” the military life, whereas our children were simply born into it. They are strong, brave, courageous, flexible, resilient, and truly the “little heroes” of our country. There are approximately 2 million military children, ranging in ages from newborn to 18 years old and I am so happy that we can make the month of April all about them!
As April closes out, I wish you a wonderful Easter and spring break (for some schools) with your family. Remember to celebrate your military children all month and help them feel appreciated for all the sacrifices that they make so their parents can serve.
