I read somewhere that the official flower of the military brat is the dandelion. Why a dandelion? The plant puts down roots almost anywhere, and it's almost impossible to destroy. The dandelion is an unpretentious plant, yet good looking (except for the habit of being where you least expect it.) It's a survivor in a broad range of climates.
Experts say that military children are well-rounded, culturally aware, tolerant, and extremely resilient. But, that doesn’t happen by accident. Behind every military child are military parents working hard to enhance the lifestyle that is handed to our military brats — even before they can appreciate it.
