DALLAS – What’s pint-sized, wears purple and is tough enough to meet the challenges of a military upbringing? Military brats!
On April 18, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service will celebrate Purple Up Day, a worldwide recognition of the strength and sacrifice of military children, by offering free treats to any child who wears purple to participating Exchange restaurants worldwide.
“With frequent moves, parental deployments and an ever-changing peer group, being a military brat can be difficult,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “The resiliency of military children amid such challenges is an inspiration, and the Exchange salutes their service on Purple Up Day.”
Any child 18 years old or younger who wears purple is eligible to receive a free treat while supplies last. Treats vary by location and may come in the form of a side, fountain drink, dessert or other item. Offer valid April 18 only.
Purple Up Day is held annually during Month of the Military Child, which recognizes the contributions of Warfighters’ children to the armed forces community. The color purple symbolizes the combined colors of all military branches: Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, Coast Guard blue and Air Force blue.
