Purple Up! For Military Kids

Wearing the color purple is a visible way to show support and thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices. During the Month of the Military Child all are encouraged to select a specific day to wear purple in honor of military kids.

The color purple symbolizes all branches of the military, it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps crimson, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue.

The goal of “Purple Up! For Military Kids:” is for military youth to actually SEE the support in their schools, after school programs, youth groups, Child Development Centers, Family Child Care Homes and the entire community.
