BSF is hosting another pinterest giveaway starting on April 11.  In honor of the Month of the Military Child, we've chosen a very cool book called "Operation Oleander." The author is a milkid herself -- her unique perspective helped inspire this amazing read.  

I love the smell of a feel-good story in the morning!  DREAM big military kids and check out information on some scholarship money that's available to you!  

Books on Bases is going south for the winter.  Children at Naval Air Station Jacksonville will get an early Christmas present from the Blue Star Families elves.  Read on ... 

Grab your runners milkids and head out to the Army 10 miler ... but don't fret, you don't have to run the WHOLE ten miles but you DO have to read about Operation Honor Cards and why this program is all-out awesome!

Our friend Abigale loves being a military kid and for good reason:  She gets to rock a Daddy Doll!  Thanks Abigale, you are our second place winner for grades k-1 and your post is wonderful.  Thanks for sharing!

Here's another incredible essay!  Enjoy

You will need a tissue for this one ... Zachary, our Military Child Essay Contest Second Place Winner for grades 4-5, tells us about the lonely nights without his dad.  We have been at war for more than a decade and military children, like Zachary, are experiencing these emotional roller coasters all over the globe.  We are thankful for their service too.  Zachary - thank you!
