April is Month of the Military Child

April is recognised as the Month of the Military Child (MoMC), a special time to honour Air Force children and families for their sacrifices, adaptability, and resilience amid frequent moves, deployments, and military life stressors. Celebrations include signing proclamations, hosting base events, and promoting "Purple Up" events.

Events will be held around the globe at USAF bases which include families of USAF service personnel.

The dandelion is the official flower of the military child because it puts down roots almost anywhere and is resilient.

Purple is used as the colour as this combines all branches of the US Armed Services and is the colour used by the organisations on their promotion posters.

The 41st RQS based at Moody AFB have designed and made this fantastic patch to celebrate this event during April. They plan to wear this patch during the month to promote the global event.

These tabs were made for previous events in 2024.

If you want to promote your event, please feel free to post it here.
