Like dandelions, military-connected children bloom and grow just about anywhere in the world. To celebrate their resilience, Stars and Stripes gathers stories to showcase the unique experience and perspective of military kids from all over the Pacific every April for Month of the Military Child.

Submissions can be emailed to militarychild@stripes.com to be published online and in the April editions of Stripes Korea, Stripes Japan, Stripes Okinawa and Stripes Guam.
