National Military Brats Day.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1FBZM1V1eh/

Craven Community College Student Veterans of America observed National Military Brats Day on April 30 by encouraging students, faculty, and staff to wear purple in support of military-connected children and families. 💜

National Military Brats Day, founded in 2016 by Military Brats, Inc., honors the children of military personnel for their sacrifices, resilience, and unique upbringing. Often described as a “hidden service,” military children may move frequently, attend many different schools, and sometimes live in multiple countries while developing a shared culture of adaptability, strength, and pride.

Purple represents all branches of the military and serves as a meaningful symbol of unity and appreciation. Thank you to everyone who wore purple to show support for military children and families in the Craven CC community and beyond. 💜
