month of military child

Established in 1986, by then Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger, April is the Month of the Military Child. The Month of the Military Child provides an opportunity to pay tribute to our nation’s youngest heroes. To recognize the unique challenges and struggles they face as well as acknowledge their contributions and unconditional support of our troops.

Take time to honor the unconditional love and support military children give their active duty parents.This is the time to observe and appreciate the patience they have when you cannot attend their events due to work schedules or when your deployed and loyalty they show when you are far away.Military children are often wise beyond their years and have a keen understanding of what it means to serve something larger than oneself.

Since my husband is an active duty we are aware of this celebration cause this is all over the military news and child activities are on here.I am so lucky that my husband never get deploy but as he said it's coming which is so sad to imagine.I can't imagine to be alone here with jacob for six month or more if my husband get deployed.
