Don’t forget to show support for our nation’s military children on “Purple Up! For Military Kids” day. This special day honoring our youngest heroes will be celebrated Friday, April 21. Join the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) and others in the military community by wearing purple to support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices.
Purple symbolizes the combined colors of all five branches of the military—Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Navy blue.
April is Month of the Military Child. This is one of several posts throughout the month where we’ll be celebrating military children.
In the spirit of Service, Not Self, the mission of the American Legion Auxiliary is to support The American Legion and to honor the sacrifice of those who serve by enhancing the lives of our veterans, military, and their families, both at home and abroad. For God and Country, we advocate for veterans, educate our citizens, mentor youth, and promote patriotism, good citizenship, peace and security.
