To salute the sacrifice of military children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, May 13 has officially been proclaimed Children of Fallen Patriots Day. This date shows appreciation for the young people whose lives were forever changed in support of their parents’ service to our country. Too often, this tremendous sacrifice is overlooked, which is why Children of Fallen Patriots Day was created to applaud their resilience and strength. The date of May 13 was selected as Children of Fallen Patriots Day because it is also the day Arlington National Cemetery was established in 1864. This final resting place for many war heroes serves as a reminder of their sacrifices.
