D N A G STRON T N E I L RESI Tristan, Khloe & Hunter Davidson Tristan, Khloe & Hunter, Being a military child comes with obstacles that are unfair of a typical childhood. You’re required to uproot at a moment’s notice and settle in for a short while— only to do it all over again in a few years. Through it all, your strength and resiliency have brought you through.

Your compassion for people and your ambition to reach your own goals despite opposition are invaluable traits.

Keep your free spirits and wanderlust as you continue

Sofia Jauregui

Ava & Olivia Velasquez

Sofia is a very resilient girl. She has been able to adapt to any situation the military life throws at her. She is helpful, caring, friendly, loving, strong and intelligent. She can make a friend anywhere she goes, and she is courageous when trying new things. Being a military child, Sofia has grown a love for traveling and is always anticipating a new adventure! We couldn’t be prouder to say that Sofia is our daughter.

We are so proud of both of you. No matter what challenges arise, you both find ways to overcome and have hearts of gold. Thank you for stepping up when Dad has to leave. Thank you for being You. Love Mom and Dad
