April has been designated as the Month of the Military Child since 1986. It is a time to honor and recognize the sacrifices made by children of military families and the significant role they play in our Armed Forces community. Military children, over 1.6 million of them, face unique challenges such as moving three times as much as civilian families and enduring long separations from deployed parents. Every April, we can celebrate military children by recognizing their bravery and important service.
