April Is Month of the Military Child

More than 1.7 million children nationwide under the age of 18 have at least one parent serving in the armed forces. April is Month of the Military Child… a time to celebrate the sacrifice of our youngest heroes. Julie White, State Youth Specialist with the Wyoming National Guard, says special events and programs will be held throughout the state and you can help.







Military kids have special issues to deal with, especially if one or even both parents are deployed. White says you can simply call to volunteer.







It is estimated that more than 900,000 children have had one or both parents deployed multiple times. White says that when you support our military children and families, you are supporting our soldiers.
