Inside: Inspirational quotes for military kids that will make your heart skip a beat. They’re the perfect set of deployment quotes to inspire your kids during the ups and downs of deployment.

Military kids are truly impressive. They live all the challenges of military life, but they never signed up for it. They experience deployments, long separations from their service member parent (or parents), PCS moves, living in other countries, and saying “see ya later” to so many friends.

They move houses, they change schools, and they adapt to constantly-changing neighborhoods. The variable lifestyle causes military kids to be strong, flexible and adventurous.

They learn to accept change and adapt to difficulties. They find their inner courage after being the new kid or a foreigner in a strange land. Many military kids grow into confident, curious, and courageous individuals.

If you are raising amazing military kids, these quotes will inspire you. If you are struggling with helping your kids navigate the challenges of military life, then let these quotes remind you of all they will become.
