Military BRATS – They Serve Too!
There are over 2 million children of serving military personnel in the United States. Of these 2 million, nearly 80% of these children attend public schools. Children of mi
litary families relocate for family duty at least three times more often than the average civilian. They learn very early in age the stress and anxiety of separation. A child raised in the military is resilient, optimistic, and more self-reliant than the average child. They did not choose to join the armed forces but serve with honor and dedication.
MILITARY BRATS MOTTO: “Children of the world, blown to all corners of the world, we bloom anywhere!” The Dandelion is the symbol of our silent tribe.
April is a time set aside to remember the service of millions of children. BRATs honor, support, grieve, and wait for the return of our service members.
