The Military Child's Bill of Rights

Found this online this morning:

Military Child Bill of Rights

I am a military child. Like my mother, father, brothers, and sisters, I am proud to serve our country too. Since I am a military child, my service should be recognized. I will grow strong serving alongside my family as long as I have:

A clean and safe place to live

Great schools that welcome me

A safe and fun place to stay when my parents are sent away

Good doctors I can easily visit when I don’t feel well

A community that supports me and lets me know I am valued

Courage and support to keep my family strong while we are at war

Leaders who will remember my family will still have needs when the war is over

Adults who remind me I’m still a kid

Time with my mom or dad so it doesn’t feel like they are still away even when they are home

Someone to talk with who understands me

Currently, there are more than 1.7 million military children under the age of 18. Remember: “Kids Serve Too!”
