💜Purple Up for Military Families on April 15💜
“Purple Up!” Day is celebrated by wearing purple as a visible way to show support and thank military
children and families. Purple was chosen because it is the color that symbolizes all branches of the
military. It is a combination of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine Corps red, Space
Force blue and Navy blue. “Purple Up!” Day will be celebrated nationally on April 15, 2026.
April is the Month of the Military Child. This special recognition, established in 1986, serves as a
reminder that military children play a role in contributing to the strength of military families. The Month
of the Military Child in Florida gives communities an opportunity to emphasize and recognize the
sacrifices of military children while their parents serve our nation. Florida is committed to being the most military-friendly state in the nation.
