| WHEREAS, Across the nation and the state of Texas, | ||
| Americans are celebrating April 2021 as the Month of the Military | ||
| Child; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Established in 1986 by Secretary of Defense | ||
| Caspar Weinberger, the Month of the Military Child honors the | ||
| important role that the children of military personnel play in | ||
| the armed forces community, paying tribute to their daily | ||
| sacrifices and the many obstacles they overcome as they face the | ||
| unique challenges of growing up in a military family; and | ||
| WHEREAS, There are more than 1.6 million military | ||
| children, and military families relocate on average every two or | ||
| three years, which can have a strong impact on youth; numerous | ||
| programs have been created to serve the needs of these brave | ||
| young Americans; the Department of Defense has initiated a series | ||
| entitled "Military Students on the Move," and the U.S. Air Force | ||
| has launched its "Stay Connected" program to help children | ||
| maintain contact with parents deployed overseas; the U.S. Navy | ||
| likewise sponsors initiatives to support and salute military | ||
| children; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Despite the hardships of frequent moves and long | ||
| overseas deployments by their loved ones, military children | ||
| exhibit admirable resilience and self-confidence, and their | ||
| courage and fortitude are truly deserving of special | ||
| recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, hereby recognize April 2021 as the Month of the | ||
| Military Child and commend all military children across the Lone | ||
| Star State for their contributions to the military community. | ||
