The Military Children 2025 World Expo
Definition: MCWE 2025 Military Children
The term Military Children encompasses tweens, teens, youth, and adults. While the terms "kid", "tween", and "youth" typically refer to an individual's formative or developmental years, the term "Children" can also apply to adults under 26, whose parent(s) or guardian served in the Armed Foreces. For clarity, MCWE 2025 uses "children", to include adutls (Military Brats), to emphasize that the event is not solely for kids, tweens, and teens. This event is for children of active-duty service members, children and veterans' children, also known as Military Brats, and open to the public.
