In 2011, the University of New Hampshire 4-H started the "Purple Up! For Military Kids" initiative which is now celebrated nation-wide. The color purple was chosen because it symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps scarlet, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue. The goal of "Purple Up! For Military Kids" is for military youth to SEE the support of their schools, after school programs, youth groups, Child Development Centers, and the entire community. At Fort McCoy "Purple Up! For Military Kids" will be celebrated on Monday, April 15, 2024.
