They were passing this out at the Military Child Fair. I thought it was cute
1. A civilian child usually dances around or talks during the National Anthem. A military child stands quietly with his hand over his heart.
2. A civilian child sees race. A military child sees diversity.
3. A civilian child has a best friend in his hometown. A military child has a best friend on almost every continent.
4. A civilian child sees only the plane flying over. A military child not only can identify the type of plane flying, but knows someone who works on them.
5. A civilian child smells something nasty and yells "Ewwww, what's that smell?" A military child smells something nasty and yells "MOPP 4 MOPP 4!!!"
6. A civilian child sees a person in uniform. A military child can tell you what branch he's in and what rank he is.
7. A civilian child thinks home is where the heart is. A military child knows home is where the military sends you.
8. A civilian child lives for tomorrow and what it might bring. A military child lives for today because tomorrow, Daddy or Mommy might get called away again.
9. A civilian child gets to kiss Mommy and Daddy goodnight each night. A military child sometimes has to kiss a picture goodnight.
10. A civilian child talks on the phone for fun. A military child lives for the 15 minute phone calls once a week.
11. A civilian child can read and write in English. A military child can read and write in Acronyms.
12. A civilian child says goodbye. A military child says see you later.
13. A civilian child gets to see things other kids would love to see. A military child gets to see things world leaders would love to see.
14. A civilian child will probobaly go to the same school his entire life. A military child will probobaly change schools every 2 years.
15. A civilian child might rarely leave his hometown for anything other than a vacation. A military child will rarely see his hometown except for on vacation.
and finally a civilian child supports our soldiers. A military child is a Soldier.
