4 FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Military children grow up facing more than their share of struggles, from worrying about deployed parents to having their lives uprooted with frequent moves.
Overcoming those challenges takes strength and resilience, and the Month of the Military Child in April allows the military community to recognize their sacrifices.
The Fort Campbell Courier spoke with several local students about their own experiences as military children and how it has shaped them.

Guard historian selected for national scholar-in-residence program
The U.S. Army Center of Military History has selected Maine’s Capt. Jonathan Bratten as its first Scholar in Residence.
A published author, Bratten will spend his first year as a guest faculty member at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., followed by a second year at the Army’s Center of Military History in Washington, D.C., to develop educational history tours, known in the military as staff rides. Staff rides are an official training event prescribed in Army regulations, and are useful tools for studying the conditions and events of historic battles as a means of learning the application of both military doctrine and tactics. He will teach freshmen about the Army profession and core values during the first semester and will teach sophomores an overall survey of military history in the second semester.
