Like dandelions, military-connected children bloom and grow just about anywhere in the world. To celebrate the resilience of military-connected children, and as part of April’s Month of the Military Child, Stars and Stripes is gathering stories to showcase the unique experiences and perspectives of the military-connected children in our community.
Submissions can be emailed to us at momceurope@stripes.com and will be featured on www.StripesEurope.com and Stripes Europe social media channels. In addition, look for weekly inserts in the Thursday editions of the Stars and Stripes newspaper throughout April.
