When is Purple Up! Day?

Saturday April 15th

During the Month of the Military Child, Purple Up! During the Month of the Military Child. On April 15th, some of the military's most unsung heroes – their children – are recognized on their children. People are encouraged to wear purple on the day to represent all branches of the military and showing unity with each other.

Military children are integral in their classrooms, youth groups, and communities around the world. We let them know we support them in all areas of the military – Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, and Space Force – when they wear purple in their honor. Whether they are a member of the military family for a short time or their entire childhood, the military child needs to know that they have the help of their families.
