Yes! I am a Military Child

For children of military men and women, life can get pretty wild. Sometimes, their moms or dads are away for a while, serving their country, but when they come home, it's time for laughter and love.

Military brats move a lot, which can be tough. It's hard saying goodbye to friends and starting all over in an unfamiliar place. The good news is, military brats are never alone; there are little girls and boys just like you all around the world to befriend and support.

Author Laura Jo Ackerman was once a military kid. She has been through moves that took her away from friends and favorite places-and deployments that took her father away from her-but through it all, her family stayed strong, stayed together, and stayed happy.
