VICENZA -- April marks the national observance of the Month of the Military Child, during which the Department of Defense and communities across the country honor military children and youth. The Army recognizes MOMC as an opportunity to honor the commitment, contributions and sacrifices Army children and youth make to the nation through the strength they provide Soldiers and families. This year, Child and Youth Services and Army Community Service are teaming up during MOMC and Child Abuse Prevention Month to offer more events to the VMC families.
