April is designated as the Month of the Military Child.
This is a time to honor the sacrifices made by military families worldwide, with an emphasis on the experience of the dependent children of military members serving at home and overseas.
The Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce’s Military Affairs Committee (MAC) held it’s 3rd Annual Month of the Military Child Essay Contest. The winners were celebrated at a Kick-Off party on March 29, 2018 at the LCCC Clay Pathfinder Building in the ANB Leadership Center.
