Information Worth Reading Did you know that April is the month of the military child? April is a special time set aside for us as a nation to recognize our military children as we honor them throughout the Month of the Military Child. They are just as deserving of the adoration that we give their parents in uniform as they serve side by side with their family. Blue Star Families and Operation Appreciation would like to provide all of our military families and service members the opportunity to recognize their outstanding military children through our Outstanding Military Child/Teen Award Certificates. Service members are often recognized with certificates and medals for their outstanding service, and we at Blue Star Families would like to provide the opportunity for the outstanding military children in our lives to receive that same recognition. We want our children to be able to hang their own certificate on the wall along with those of their parents. Every military child is eligible for this award. We want for every military family to tell their child how outstanding and important they are! For more information visit www.bluestarfam.org/Programs/Operation_Appreciation/MilKid_zCertificate
