The Children of Fallen Patriots Day on May 13th, 2025

Mail / By 
The Children of Fallen Patriots Day on May 13th celebrates the sacrifice of military children who have lost a parent in service to our country. This day helps to raise awareness of the sacrifices and struggles children must endure in the wake of their parent’s death. The numbers are staggering, and in the past 25 years, more than 15,000 children have lost parents in military conflict. This date reminds us to applaud their resilience and strength and show appreciation for the young people whose lives were forever changed. May 13th was selected as the date of observance due to being the day Arlington National Cemetery was established in 1864. Note: Beginning May 7, 2025, individuals over 18 who enter Arlington National Cemetery in a vehicle should be prepared to present a REAL ID at the security checkpoint.

May is Military Appreciation Month

Special Events, Special News / By

May is Military Appreciation Month, a time to pause and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country. Military Appreciation Month is also a time to acknowledge those who serve alongside veterans. The spouses, partners, and children of service members carry the weight of long absences, emotional distance, and silent struggles. Caring for the whole family is how we truly honor their service.
