Kids of Deployed are Heroes 2

Recognize Kids of Active Military

Kids of Deployed are Heroes 2 (KDH2) is an initiative honoring military children who may be experiencing a separation from one or both parents, whether deployed to a war zone, having a short tour or on an extended temporary duty assignment. Recognition buttons or stickers with “I’m a Hero 2” can be distributed to these kids to recognize their sacrifices.

What can you do?

Host an event to recognize these military children. Be sure to include the Legion family, especially your Juniors. Have a supply of the “I’m a Hero 2” buttons or stickers ready to hand out. You might also want to have on-hand the “Proud Parent/Grandparent of a Military Child“ button.

Consider these ideas:

• Coordinate with Family Readiness Groups for button distribution during family days.
• Coordinate with Legion Family members on local community days/fairs etc.
• Have an activity day/dinner for military families at your post home.

KDH2 buttons may be ordered through a commercial vendor or made yourself. You can download a file for KDH2 with instructions here.
