House concurrent resolution recognizing April 2024 as the Month of the Military Child in Vermont

This bill formally recognizes April 2024 as the Month of the Military Child in Vermont to highlight the challenges faced by children of military personnel, including those in the Vermont National Guard. The resolution acknowledges the unique pressures these children face due to parental deployments, frequent relocations, and lack of community stability. It directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont National Guard Office of Child & Youth Services, aligning with national efforts like Military Kids Connect and Purple Up! For Military Kids Day. This measure is ceremonial and does not create new funding or policy requirements.
