Here is the last Month of the Military Child fact of the day: since the 1970s, military families have grown so much that military children now outnumber actual U.S. troops by a ratio of 1.4 to 1. Sure, it's not a huge margin, but it tells you that military children and families are important to service! Military-connected students make many sacrifices to support their families, and we celebrate them this month as a thank you for that sacrifice. We love our military-connected Hornets!
