    About this ebook

    While military parents are away serving and protecting, their children are at home, taking care of themselves and each other.

    April 15 is Purple Up! Day—a day when Americans around the world recognize and celebrate the children who make sacrifices along with their military parents. Classmates mix the colors of the different military branches to create banners that say, "Thank you for your service!"
