Blue Star Families Celebrates the Month of the Military Child

This month Blue Star Families recognizes Month of the Military Child through a variety of events held around the country. As the nation’s largest chapter-based military families support organization, Blue Star Families embraces this unique time to honor and support military children.

“Our military children show tremendous resilience and have been through innumerable separations, especially during this past twelve-plus years of war,” said Kathy Roth-Douquet, CEO of Blue Star Families. “The Month of the Military Child is a great way to honor our military kids and show our appreciation for their contributions to the military community.”

Events hosted by Blue Star Family this month include letter-writing campaigns via Operation Appreciation, Books on Bases literacy events, community festivals, circus events and more! Visit Blue Star Families for a complete list.

For those military families who do not live near one of these even locations, Blue Star Families encourages parents to help their child go online and print the Military Child Certificate of Appreciation.
