The color of purple represents the combined colors of all branches of the military: Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red, and Navy blue.

During the school visits, the Brothers of Lambda Xi Chapter presented a short presentation about the Month of the Military Child featuring this year’s theme: “Military Children and Youth: Standing Strong and Proud”.
