Bill > SR5

This resolution designates April 15 as Purple Up! For Military Kids Day in Oklahoma, recognizing the unique challenges and sacrifices of military children. The resolution highlights that the Month of the Military Child was established in 1986 to honor military families and acknowledge the important role of children in the armed forces community. It emphasizes the resilience of military children who face frequent relocations, long separations, and multiple deployments of their parents. The resolution explains the tradition of wearing purple (a color combining elements from all military branches) as a symbol of unity and support, with April 15 serving as a day to visibly tribute and celebrate military children. The Oklahoma State Senate formally recognizes these children's experiences and expresses gratitude to military families for their dedication and sacrifice to the state and nation.
