Month of the Military Child

Help recognize the sacrifices of our military children.

The month of April is designated as Month of the Military Child.   The month's purpose is to recognize the contribution that the military child makes as their parent or parents serve our nation.  The Bossier community is home to over 2,000 military children ages 4-18.  The life of a military child is filled with unique challenges such as parent deployments, reintegration and frequent moves.  The Bossier Chamber of Commerce and the Military Child Education Coalition are looking for the community's help to recognize the sacrifices of our military children.  Click HERE to learn how you can help.
