RMKS/1. SINCE 1986 THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE HAS DESIGNATED EACH
APRIL AS "THE MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD". OUR CHILDREN ARE AN
INSPIRATION AND SOURCE OF PRIDE TO US ALL. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO REFLECT AND RECOGNIZE THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND PERSONAL SACRIFICES
OUR CHILDREN MAKE AS MARINE CORPS FAMILY MEMBERS.
2. COMMANDS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAN APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES DURING
THE MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD IN OUR YOUTH CENTERS AND CHILD
DEVELOPMENT CENTERS, AND TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP INITIATIVES THAT WILL
FOCUS ATTENTION ON ISSUES CONCERNING THE WELL BEING OF OUR MILITARY
CHILDREN.
3. SEMPER FIDELIS, J. L. JONES, GENERAL, U.S. MARINE CORPS,
COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS.//
