Bill > SCR6

This concurrent resolution designates April 15 as Purple Up! For Military Kids Day in Oklahoma, formally recognizing the Month of the Military Child established in 1986 by former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. The resolution highlights the unique challenges faced by military children, including frequent relocations, long separations from parents, and multiple deployments, while emphasizing their remarkable resilience and adaptability. It explains the significance of wearing purple on April 15, which symbolizes unity across all military branches by combining their signature colors (Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue). The resolution seeks to honor military children's contributions and express gratitude to military families for their sacrifices and dedication to the state and nation. By officially designating this day, the Oklahoma State Legislature aims to draw attention to the important role military children play within the armed forces community and show support for their experiences.
