You’re MY Hero

Many people don’t know how much strength it takes to be a military child and for that reason I am here to celebrate you in all of your splendor. Not many realize the day Mommy or Daddy swore into the military your life was forever changed and you too began a life of service. While your Parent’s stand watch, go through deployments, and serve our Nation you are stationed and re-stationed all over the world with no say and little notice. You leave behind your family and friends and are eager to making new ones. So, today I want to say THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for showing tremendous courage and flexibility. Thank you for being able to adapt to new places, situations, and faces. Thank you for helping Mommy or Daddy take care of home while the other is out serving the country. Knowing Braden is always “so happy when Daddy comes home” is all the motivation his Dad needs to get his job done and get home to find his son waiting. Thank you for the going away/welcome home signs, the pictures, phone calls, and hugs and kisses you always have in store when the fleet makes it back home.

Although not every day is great; every moment spent with you is one to be treasured. As a military child you have the opportunity to create memories in multiple places and with multiple people. You live a life filled with diversity as you take in the cultures around you. You are wise beyond your years because of the things you have seen and possess skills not many others can have. Being a military child makes you a part of a unique group of people who have their own language and definition of family. Thank you for simply being you!

 Mommies and Daddies from all branches have nothing but great things to say about military kids: Gina3“A military child appreciates the ‘now’, has ‘family’ all over the world, knows that home can be anywhere, and understands how much love can be passed along in a single huGina5g.” Kristina

“Something that makes the military child so special is how resilient they are. They may have to say goodbye to friends over the years but they also have the chance to explore new areas, experience different cultures, and master the art of first impressions.” Desiree

“The great things about military children is that innovators. They take the curve balls military life throws at their families and play an amazing game! They write blogs, learn languages and instruments, master alternative forms of communication. Most importantly they learn to embrace life and differences.” Regina

“Military children possess the most sincere hearts I have ever seen. The way they genuinely love and care for all people is something I wish I could see more of in others” Jasmine.
