"Purple Up!" is a national initiative that recognizes and celebrates military children and their sacrifices, particularly during the Month of the Military Child, which is in April. It involves communities and organizations emphasizing the sacrifices of military children, supporting their families, and promoting military-friendly initiatives. The color purple is chosen because it combines the colors of all military branches.
We honored and proud to feature this amazing family from our community as well!!!
Jaxon Grace- is in the Navy.
He is currently stationed in Hawaii. He spent 4 years serving in Colorado and time in Florida for training.
His title is petty officer second class. He is a Cryptologic technician. 3 deployments on submarines.
Sadly, we lost his dad unexpectedly (my husband of 33 years) last November. It has been very hard!
Jaxon is the youngest of our 4 kids. His siblings live in Indiana with his proud nieces and nephews.
