Moving to new communities was a prominent theme this year, with many of the drawings depicting moving vans, traveling scenes, and leaving friends. Each year, the children tell success stories of military families through their drawings. Military Family Week this year will be celebrated from Nov. 21 through Nov. 28, the Thanksgiving holiday period.
