Military Brats Day is a holiday created at the grassroots level and has been celebrated on April 30th since its inception.

According to a variety of sources, Military Brats, Inc. founded National Military Brats Day in 2016 and is part of a move to convince lawmakers to make the holiday a federally recognized one.

April is also the Month of the Military Child so it’s fitting that Americans should pay tribute to military families and military brats in particular at the end of the month
