Utah State University Cooperative Extension 4-H Operation:
Military Kids

Purple Up!

April marks the nation's "Month of the Military Child", a time to honor youth impacted by deployment. In celebration, Utah Operation: Military Kids invites you to join us in "Purple Up! For Military Kids."

We are encouraging everyone across the state of Utah to wear purple on Friday, April 13, 2012 as a visible way to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifice. Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is the combination of Army green, Air Force Blue, Coast Guard Blue, Marine red and Navy blue. Please join us in this opportunity to celebrate our "Heroes on the Home Front." 

Please download our flier for more information on this and other ways to celebrate and support our military kids.
