💜 In 2011, the University of New Hampshire 4-H started the “Purple Up! For Military Kids” initiative that is now celebrated nation-wide. Wearing the color purple is a visible way to show support and thank military youth for their courage and sacrifices.
💜 The color purple was chosen and symbolizes all branches of the military, it is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps scarlet, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blue.
