The Month of the Military Child is an annual observance in April that recognizes and honors the sacrifices and resilience of children in military families. These children face unique challenges and often experience frequent moves, separation from their parents due to deployments, and other hardships. The Month of the Military Child aims to raise awareness of these challenges and celebrate the strength and courage of military children.
BRAT is an acronym commonly used to refer to military children. It is a term of endearment used within the military community. While the term may have originated as a derogatory label, it has since been reclaimed as a badge of honor and a symbol of the unique experiences and resilience of military children.
