Celebrate the Military Child
I am proud of my Mom and Dad
It's time to educate your peers and the community-at-large about the special needs of families and children undergoing challenging life events. April is the month of the military child, and it is important we recognize the sacrifices made by not only our deployed forces, but their families as well.
