2. Purple Up! For Military Kids”
Friday, April 13th
April marks the nation’s “Month of the Military Child,” a time to honor youth impacted
by deployment. In celebration, Texas Operation: Military Kids (OMK), part of the 4-H
Youth Development program of Texas AgriLife Extension, invites you to join us for the
2nd annual
“Purple Up! For Military Kids.” We are encouraging everyone across the state of Texas to
wear purple on Friday, April 13th, as a visible way to show support and thank military
children for their strength and sacrifices. Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches
of the military, as it is the combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue,
Marine red and Navy blue. OMK hopes everyone will take this opportunity to
appreciate and celebrate these young heroes.
Be creative….the goal is for military youth to actually see the support.
