Resolution 6, introduced by Senators Pederson and Pae, designates April 15 as "Purple Up! For Military Kids Day" in Oklahoma, recognizing the Month of the Military Child. This observance, established in 1986 by former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, honors the sacrifices made by military families and highlights the significant role that military children play within the armed forces community. Military children often face unique challenges, including frequent relocations and separations from their parents, which require them to demonstrate resilience and adaptability.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of wearing purple on this day as a symbol of unity among all branches of the military, representing a collective commitment to service and sacrifice. By designating April 15 as Purple Up! For Military Kids Day, the Oklahoma State Legislature expresses its gratitude to military families and their children for their dedication and contributions to the state and nation.
