One of the most emotional and touching moments shown about the life of a military family is the classic homecoming scene with mom or dad returning from a long deployment, surprising their children at school or other public settings with tears and long hugs. The feeling of patriotism and pride is recognized at that moment with deep appreciation for the immense sacrifice that has been made.
But what happens when the cameras go away and the family goes back to their daily life? The story doesn't begin or end there.
Military children are often the invisible party of a service member family. They often move, jump between schools and become separated from loved ones, all in the midst of potentially having a parent serve in harms way without much input into these huge transitional life events. Each one of these kids has a special story to tell about their rich military history, culture, family and personal challenges and triumphs in life.
We celebrate these Unsung Heroes and their stories.
