 Here's an interesting statistic. There are currently more than 1.8 million children of active duty and reserve component service members. April marks the month of the military child, which recognizes and honors all children whose parents are currently serving in the military. Many installation MWR opposites have services and hold events specifically for the support and welfare of the nation's military children. These range from parades and picnics to special programs and other recreational activities. Community outreach and support centers are available to reinforce the bonds between children and their military parents. Check your on-base MWR for details to see which services and events are available in your area.
