Small boots, big impact: Saluting military kids

A member of the 86th Security Forces Squadron takes a photo of a mother and child holding their Purple Up! Day signs before students arrive at the Ramstein Elementary School to begin their day at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, April 9, 2025. Observed each April, this month serves as a reminder of the strength, resilience and adaptability displayed by military-connected youth as they navigate the challenges of frequent relocations, parental deployments, and the demands of military life.
