Adult military children - we want to celebrate YOU during the Month of the Military Child in April on our Social Media platforms. Send us your stories to share!
Military children tend to stay connected to the military. Some end up joining the service and others work for the military as civilians – from bus drivers and school liaisons to custodial workers, caregivers, coaches and librarians to Youth Sports Directors.
As part of the 2024 Month of the Military Child (MOMC), we are expanding Young Lives, BIG Stories to include former military children (21 and older).
