SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 248
         WHEREAS, Across the nation and the state of Texas,
  Americans are celebrating April 2021 as the Month of the Military
  Child; and
         WHEREAS, Established in 1986 by Secretary of Defense
  Caspar Weinberger, the Month of the Military Child honors the
  important role that the children of military personnel play in
  the armed forces community, paying tribute to their daily
  sacrifices and the many obstacles they overcome as they face the
  unique challenges of growing up in a military family; and
         WHEREAS, There are more than 1.6 million military
  children, and military families relocate on average every two or
  three years, which can have a strong impact on youth; numerous
  programs have been created to serve the needs of these brave
  young Americans; the Department of Defense has initiated a series
  entitled "Military Students on the Move," and the U.S. Air Force
  has launched its "Stay Connected" program to help children
  maintain contact with parents deployed overseas; the U.S. Navy
  likewise sponsors initiatives to support and salute military
  children; and
         WHEREAS, Despite the hardships of frequent moves and long
  overseas deployments by their loved ones, military children
  exhibit admirable resilience and self-confidence, and their
  courage and fortitude are truly deserving of special
  recognition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, hereby recognize April 2021 as the Month of the
  Military Child and commend all military children across the Lone
  Star State for their contributions to the military community.
