Military Child Award!

Do you know a deserving child that you would like to nominate for a special award? Voting is now open!

Operation Homefront and Lockheed Martin Corp. have partnered together to recognize the service and sacrifices of the nation’s youngest heroes with the Military Child Award. This award honors children in military families who learn patriotism at a very young age and understand sacrifice and service. The Military Child Education Coalition has also partnered to help with this recognition. Nominations for the award are open to military children between the ages of 8 and 18. The winner will be flown with a parent or guardian to Washington, D.C., for the $5,000 award and special recognition ceremony on April 8, 2010.

Please don’t forget to pass this on to your military colleagues so every special military child has a chance at this great opportunity.

Anyone can nominate a deserving child for the award, but the nominee must be enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility System, DEERS. To nominate a child of both active duty and reserve families please visit www.homefrontonline.com between now and April 22, 2010.
