🇺🇸 Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Military Community and Family of Policy, April is designated the Month of the Military Child. It is a time to applaud military families and their children for the sacrifices and the challenges they overcome each day. Here in Virginia, we are proud to be home to the United States Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, United States Space Force, and The National Guard and Reserve families. #CPSCelebrates 💜 Don’t forget to wear purple on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in celebration of “Purple Up!
