The Military Child
The official flower of the military child is the dandelion. Why? The plant puts down roots almost
anywhere, and it's almost impossible to destroy. It's an unpretentious plant, yet good looking.
It's a survivor in a broad range of climates. Military children bloom everywhere the winds carry
them. They are hardy and upright. Their roots are strong, cultivated deeply in the culture of the
military, planted swiftly and surely. They're ready to fly in the breezes that take them to new
adventures, new lands, and new friends.
Experts say that military children are well-rounded, culturally aware, tolerant, and extremely
resilient. Military children have learned from an early age that home is where their hearts are,
that a good friend can be found in every corner of the world and in every color, and that
education doesn't only come from school. They live history. They learn that to survive means to
adapt, that the door that closes one chapter of their life opens up to a new and exciting
adventure full of new friends and new experiences.
