We would like to honor all of Military Kids this April! 💜
April is New Mexico Month of the Military Child, and I want every military kid in our state to know: we see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for your sacrifice.
More than 11,000 children of military families call New Mexico home. They face frequent moves, long separations, and repeated deployments of one or both parents, and they do it with courage and resilience.
This month, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting these remarkable young people and their families. And on April 15th, I'm asking all New Mexicans to wear purple for Purple Up Day as a visible sign of gratitude and support for military children across our state.
