The bill H. 5396 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to recognize and honor the contributions and personal sacrifices made by military children. It designates April 2026 as "Month of the Military Child" in South Carolina, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by military families, particularly the children who often experience multiple school transitions and the absence of one or both parents due to military commitments. The resolution highlights the importance of military children in supporting their parents and contributing to their communities despite the difficulties they encounter.

The resolution draws attention to the significant number of military-connected children in South Carolina, estimated to be over thirty-six thousand, and emphasizes the collaborative efforts of various state departments and organizations to support these children. By designating a specific month to honor military children, the resolution aims to foster appreciation and recognition for their sacrifices and resilience, allowing the people of South Carolina to pay tribute to their unwavering support of United States troops.
