Let's show our love and support for military families on Purple Up Day by wearing purple and spreading awareness!
Get ready to show your support for military children on Purple Up Day, celebrated every April 15! This day was first designated in 2011 by the Military Child Education Coalition to honor and recognize the strength and sacrifices of military families. The color purple symbolizes all branches of the military as it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard blue. So let's all wear some purple on this special day to show our appreciation for these brave and resilient children!

Purple is known as the color of loyalty, courage, and sacrifice - all qualities possessed by military families. By wearing purple on this day, we show our unity and support for these families, no matter what branch or rank they may be.
Many military-connected children face unique challenges, such as frequent moves and dealing with the absence of a parent during deployments. Purple Up Day helps bring attention to these issues and encourages communities to provide support and resources for these children.
