Sorry for the late notice, but I’ve been out at a conference all week. Tomorrow is the Center for Military Families’ Purple Up! event, and everyone is encouraged to wear purple in support of our military families.

Subject: Purple Up! For Military Kids Day - Friday, April 13th
The Center for Military Families at the UTSA – Downtown Campus would like you to join us in
Turning San Antonio Purple
on Friday, April 13th in honor of Texas and San Antonio proclaiming April the month of the military child and declaring that day
Purple UP! For Military Kids Day. Attached are the proclamations from both Governor Abbott and Mayor Nirenberg as well as this month’s newsletter from the Military Child Education Program. Feel free to print and post
in your areas and/or share via e-mail with others.
We would like to encourage everyone to wear purple that day to show support for military children! Below are ideas from the JBSA Military Child Education School Liaison Offices on how you can show your support for military children on
April 13th. We plan to tie purple ribbons on campus to honor and show appreciation to military children for all their strength and sacrifices. Please join us in any way you can...
Get Your Purple On!
Thank you,

Subject: April Proclaimed Month of the Military Child, Celebrate Military Kids on 13 Apr, and Patriot's Express - Mar/Apr Edition - Let's Turn San Antonio Purple!
The time has come to honor our youngest heroes!
The military child serves too - they are expected to support the mission by understanding the needs of the military when a parent deploys, they receive permanent change of station orders to relocate and
when the military member has to put service before their families' needs.
Since 1986, April has been declared the Month of the Military Child (MOMC) to recognize the commitment, contributions and sacrifices of military children. Gov. Abbott has signed a MOMC Proclamation for Texas (attached) for all to display proudly and bring
awareness to our kids unique challenges.
PurpleUp! For Military Kids Day
has been declared for Texas as April 13, 2018. We are asking schools, youth organizations, businesses and community partners to PurpleUp! so that military youth actually
SEE the support in their communities. You can wear purple, tie a purple ribbon, post signs/banners, wear purple wrist bands basically anything that shows your support. We ask that if districts/campuses/businesses
share on Social Media activities and celebrations (even if it’s just wearing purple)- please tag our office - Twitter: @jbsa_slo Facebook: JBSA School Liaison Offices and use the following hashtags:
#milkids #MOMC #PurpleUpTexas
Texas is proud to be home to Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard and Reserve families and the second largest state in the US with military dependents ages 0-18. So help us recognize military children’s sacrifices
as they serve our nation.
The March/April Patriot's Express will highlight MOMC, PurpleUp! as well as other events that will help celebrate these youth!
Get your purple on! Let's Paint TEXAS Purple!
