SR 265 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution recognizing April 15, 2026, as "Purple Up! For Military Kids Day" and the month of April 2026 as the "Month of the Military Child" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution officially designates April 15, 2026, as "Purple Up! For Military Kids Day" and the entire month of April 2026 as the "Month of the Military Child" within Pennsylvania. The measure aims to honor the over 37,000 children in the state who have at least one parent serving in the military, National Guard, or reserves by encouraging public support and awareness. The primary mechanism is a symbolic declaration that invites residents to wear purple on the specified date to show solidarity with military families. This action does not alter laws or allocate funding but serves to recognize the unique challenges faced by these children and promote community engagement.
