In a celebration of resilience, strength and community, more than 3,000 children and their parents gathered at Fort Cavazos to honor military-connected youth during the annual Month of the Military Child Fest.

This year’s theme, “The Future of the Military Child,” shined a spotlight on the unique challenges and bright futures of military children.

Command Sgt. Maj. Loyd Rhoades, U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Cavazos command sergeant major, opened the event with a message recognizing the sacrifices military children make alongside their families.

“Military families face many hurdles during deployments, transitions and the daily routines of military life,” Rhoades said. “It’s important for military children to understand — and for us to understand — what they go through day in and day out. Sometimes, we forget about the resiliency and adversity they go through as we PCS (permanent change of station), deploy and transition to different locations. This month, we’re celebrating our children … and showing the great things they do for our community and for our installation.”
