Join us in recognizing our military-connected children this April during the Month of the Military Child (MOMC). These amazing kids are strong, brave, proud, global. We celebrate their selflessness and sacrifice as they serve our country as part of a military family, not just in April, but all year long.
Month of the Military Child Toolkit
Listed below are items available for download and use in your local areas. Included are Month of the Military Child Purple Up poster celebrating #PurpleUp day & military kids, Yard Sign design to print at your local printer, Certificates of Recognition for Military-connected Kids, templates for stickers, a Word Search activity sheet, and the 2023 MOMC T-shirt designs (4 options available for download to create your own.)
Purple Up
Wear purple to celebrate military kids! Purple references the joint environment of the military, encompassing all service branches, Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Veterans. Purple combines each branch’s colors into one: the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard all use shades of blue, the Army uses green, and the Marines use red. MCEC celebrates Purple Up this year on April 21st.
Call for the Arts
The MCEC Call for the Arts program invites military-connected children from all over the world, representing every branch of service, to share interpretations of what it means to be a military-connected child through art. Visit the Call for the Arts page for eligibility and guidelines.
Hashtags
