Let’s Purple Up for military kids on April 15th!
The Month of the Military Child (MOMC) in Florida gives communities an opportunity to emphasize and recognize the sacrifices of military children while their parents serve our nation. Florida is committed to being the most military-friendly state in the Nation. Established by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger in 1986, MOMC serves as a reminder that military children play a role in contributing to the strength of military families. There are currently 1.2 million children of active-duty members and two million military children have experienced a parent’s deployment since 9/11.
