Summary
Justin Bard creates handprint art together with his family during the COVID-19 pandemic. Justin Bard is a military child who has served our country for nine years. He does not think about being a military child because it is normal for him. His mom, Tech. Sgt. Ashley Bard, 104th Fighter Wing Logistics Readiness Squadron, has served in the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard his whole life. She has served her country for 19 years, and Justin has served alongside her for half of her career. Each year, April is set aside for the month of the military child to honor their sacrifices and bravery on the homefront. The Department of Defense and military support agencies use this time to recognize and celebrate their little heroes. (U.S. Air National Guard graphic by Senior Master Sgt. Julie Avey)
