Officials said, "'Military Kids Serve Too' is one of many efforts taking place in April to celebrate military children across the state.

At 'Military Kids Serve Too,' children whose parent/guardian is currently serving in the US Armed Forces will be honored with a customized challenge coin commemorating their special designation as our nation’s youngest patriots."

Remarks and coining ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. in the auditorium.
