Nominate your son or daughter for the Military Child of the Year!
My name is Danielle Campbell, and I am the Program Coordinator for our Family Support Services department here at Operation Homefront.
Every year (now in its 19th year) Operation Homefront hosts the Military Child of the Year® Awards. The awards are open to military children between the ages of 13-18. There are 7 recipients 1 child from each branch of service and each recipient receives $10,000 CASH, a laptop, other donated goodies, and a 3-day trip to Washington, D.C. with us and their families.
Children are entered by nominations. Anyone that knows a military child can nominate any military child. So, you may nominate your students, friend’s children, children can nominate their siblings and best friends and so on. The awards are open to Active Duty, reserves, Gold Star, National Guard, AND retired military children. The program is entirely FREE and exclusive to military children, and you do not need to create an account to submit a nomination.
If you know a military child, we would love to hear their story!! We would also appreciate if you would help us get the word out there to your military communities and families!
Nominations are open now and will remain open until December 1st.
For the 19th year, Operation Homefront honors America's military children through its annual Military Child of the Year® Awards program.
