According to the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity, April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, underscoring the important role military children play in the armed forces community.

“Sponsored by the Department of Defense Military Community and Family Policy, the Month of the Military Child is a time to applaud military families and their children for the daily sacrifices they make and the challenges they overcome,”according to the website.

The Month of the Military Child is part of the legacy left by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He established the Defense Department commemoration in 1986.
