Military Money Matters

FREE is a word that catches your attention real quick!!!

With summertime approaching, I learned of a wonderful program offered for military children.  Operation Purple is a program of the National Military Family Association where children of deployed members are offered an opportunity to participate in a summer camp or family retreat.  The experience is paid for in full by a variety of wonderful corporate and other sponsors.  Some of the camps are week-long overnight and are FREE.  The key is to enroll early as these positions are quickly taken because of the high demand. 

The National Military Family Association web site page is full of other relevant information for military families.  Another web site link is to their SaveAndInvest sponsored web site that reviews a lot of military money topics (PCS, Preparing for Future Moves, When Duty Calls, Getting out of Debt, etc).  The National Endowment for Financial Education, the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, and the National Military Family Association are honored to make this publication available to many military families struggling to make sense of money matters.  This is a great unbiased web site page.
