SUBMITTED RESOLUTIONS
SENATE RESOLUTION 691—SUPPORTING THE DESIGNATION OF APRIL 2026 AS THE
“MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD”
Mrs. MURRAY (for herself and Mr. Boozman) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services:
S. Res. 691
Whereas millions of brave United States servicemembers and
veterans have demonstrated their courage and commitment to
freedom by serving the Armed Forces of the United States of
America in active-duty posts around the world;
Whereas there are more than 1,600,000 children connected to
the military across the United States;
Whereas it is only fitting that the people of the United
States take time to recognize the contributions of
servicemembers and veterans, celebrate their spirit, and let
the men and women of the United States in uniform know that
while they are taking care of us, the people of the United
States are taking care of their children;
Whereas the recognition of a “Month of the Military
Child” will allow the people of the United States to pay
tribute to military children for their commitment, struggles,
and unconditional support of United States troops;
Whereas, when a servicemember joins the military, it is a
family commitment to the United States, and military children
are heroes in their own way; and
Whereas a month-long salute to military children will
encourage the United States to provide direct support to
military children and families: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) supports the designation of April 2026 as the “Month
of the Military Child”; and
(2) urges the people of the United States to observe the
Month of the Military Child with appropriate ceremonies and
activities that honor, support, and show appreciation for
military children.
