Dear Military Community, Being a military child is really fun because I get to move to a lot of different places like Germany, Tokyo, Okinawa, and more. I'm glad I'm a military child but sometimes it's hard too because if your dad or your mom are in the military they might have to deploy to Korea like my dad did, or somewhere else. Those times can be really sad, but luckily, they get to come back after months or years. Life as a military child is really amazing and fun because you also get to go on incredible vacations. Once my dad surprised me on my birthday and took me and my mom to Tokyo. I was really excited because I always wanted to go there. When we got to Tokyo my dad surprised me again by taking me to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea. I was really happy and excited. That was one of my favorite memories. Being a military child is sometimes hard because if you really love your hometown, you might have to move somewhere else which is really sad. I'm grateful for being a military child because some kids can't afford to move somewhere else and go to Disneyland and other new places. My dad works really hard for our family and keeps the world safe. I love being a military child!
