Purple Up for Military Kids!
The University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System invites everyone across the state of Connecticut to wear purple on Tuesday, April 15th. Purple symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is the combination of Army green; Coast Guard red; and Marine, Navy and Air Force blue. Purple Up! acts as a visible way to show support and thank military youth for their strength and sacrifices. We hope everyone will take this opportunity to celebrate these young heroes! Post your photos to post on the CT Operation: Military Kids pages or the Connecticut National Guard Instagram page, where military youth and families from across the state will be able see them!
