The Month of the Military Child is a legacy that was left behind by the former Defense Secretary, Caspar Weinberger. The month of April is a time to honor and recognize the sacrifices made by the military families, a greater emphasis is given to the dependent children of military members working at home or overseas.
The Month of the Military Child is supported by the Department of Defense Military Community and many other organizations. This month is celebrated internally by the people of the military communities and military associations. Many activities take place in the honor of this month which includes contests, parades, seminars, and other special events. The Month of the Military Child is often celebrated externally by a great number of schools, organizations, and communities.
In these contests and ceremonies, the military families are requested to take part and be vocal about their past experiences and share their lifestyle with others. Through these events, efforts are made to emphasize the importance of providing military children with some support and quality services that can help them to prosper in a mobile lifestyle. (Source)
