April is the Month of the Military Child, a time when the military community honors and celebrates the 2 million military children whose parents are currently active-duty service members in the US and around the globe.
Military children and families face many unique challenges of military life -- they move every 2-3 years on average, leave old friends, start new schools, and often learn new customs, cultures and languages when assigned to other countries. They frequently experience significant periods of time without a parent who is away training or deployed.
We want to express our appreciation to non-military organizations that have made April 2023 fun and enriching for military children.
These include: Disney World, Legoland, Universal Studios, National Parks and numerous zoos and aquariums for providing free or discounted admission. Old Navy, LLBean, Under Armour, Wrangler, Crocs, Nike and Reebok helped keep costs down on clothing, sports and school apparel for military children.
Tutor.com and eKnowledge provide free or discounted academic support. Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michael’s gave discounts on craft and school supplies.
Thank you to the many other companies and local community events that recognize and support military children in the month of April and throughout the year.
