Since 1986, the Department of Defense has designated April as the Month of the Military Child. Military children face unique challenges with remarkable resilience, enduring separations and sacrifices as their parents serve. The National Guard acknowledges and applauds these young men and women for their strength and support, recognizing their essential contribution to both family and national success.
