Ft. Buchanan Commanding Officer

Since 1983, April has been designated as Month of the Military Child. The NCOs are the backbone of the Army but the strength of our Soldiers comes from the strength of their families. Every year Fort Buchanan recognizes the key role played by our military child care and youth services. They are living testimonies of our commitment through the Army Family Covenant "in providing Soldiers and Families a Quality of Life that is commensurate with their service; as well as providing our families a strong, supportive environment where they can thrive."

During this month we celebrate the unique lifestyles of our military youth, making adjustments when necessary, especially during deployments and wartime. This is a very special day at Fort Buchanan as this community gets together to demonstrate our gratitude and appreciation for the many sacrifices our military families make as their loved ones serve their country; and among the most important family members - our children.

Our Nation has an eternal debt with all the military children whose sacrifices allow us to reap the benefits of democracy. It is an honor to salute our military and civilian families as we recognize the contributions of our children in support of our troops.

Dios bendiga a nuestros Soldados, nuestras familias y sobre todo a nuestros niAfA+-os. Muchas gracias.
