ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- April is the Month of the Military Child and Anniston Army Depot's Child Development Center is celebrating.

The U.S. Army observes this time to recognize and honor the commitment, contributions and sacrifices children and youth make to the nation through the strength they provide the Soldiers and Families.

This observance month allows the Army to recognize, applaud, and celebrate the resilience of military children and youth and their role in ensuring a ready force now and into the future.

This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the Department of Defense designating April as Month of the Military Child.

ANAD's Child Development Center kicked off the month with a parade on April 6 from the White Oak area to the CDC.

Other events include dress up days, community readers, a Month of the Military Child Festival, breakfast with parents at the CDC and a pajama party.
