Purple UP! Day

April is designated as the Month of the Military Child, underscoring the important role military children play in the armed forces community.

Purple Up! Day is a time for Americans to show their support for active and veteran military families.

The well-being of all the children of our active and veteran military is important.

The United Relief Foundation is focused on women veterans with children because:

• Women veterans are at least twice as likely to be homeless as non-veteran women. and more likely to be single parents.

The Month of the Military Child is part of the legacy left by former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He established the Defense Department commemoration in 1986.
