OK SR5

Designates April 15 as Purple Up! For Military Kids Day in Oklahoma to recognize the Month of the Military Child, established in 1986 by former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.

Acknowledges the unique challenges military children face, including frequent relocations, long separations, multiple combat zone deployments, and uncertainty about parents' safe return.

Recognizes that wearing purple on April 15 symbolizes unity across all military branches by combining Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue.

Expresses gratitude from the Oklahoma State Senate to military families and their children for their sacrifice and dedication to the state and nation.
