Lowndes County proclaims 'Purple Up' for military children
Summary
The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners read a proclamation recognizing April 26 as Purple Up for Military Children Month and welcomed representatives from Moody Air Force Base who described family and school liaison programs.
The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners recognized military‑connected children on April 14 with a proclamation for "Purple Up for Military Children Month." County Manager Miss Dukes introduced a delegation from Moody Air Force Base and invited base representatives to speak.
Colonel Ken Roberts, mission support group commander, thanked the community for supporting military families, described base liaison and community initiatives that help children connect with new schools and services, and called military children “resilient” because they frequently move and cope with parental deployments. The proclamation — read by the board — noted the sacrifices of military families and named April 26 as Purple Up for Military Children Month in Lowndes County.
The recognition was ceremonial; no action items or budgetary authorizations were associated with the proclamation.
