ALA promotes Purple Up!

Military children face unique challenges and make sacrifices. To recognize them, April is designated as the Month of the Military Child and April 15 is the Purple Up! Day. On Purple Up! Day, everyone can wear purple to show support for military children and raise awareness of their sacrifices. Purple symbolizes a combination of the colors of each branch of the U.S. military: Army green, Navy blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue.

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit 360 in Weatherly will host a breakfast Friday April 14, at the Weatherly Middle School Cafeteria from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Military children from third grade to eighth grade can invite a parent actively serving in the military to eat breakfast with them that Friday. Please R.S.V.P. by APRIL 5, if you plan on attending. Contact Georgia Farrow 570-427-4527 to make your reservation.
