April 30 marks Military Brats Day.
April 30 marks Military Brats Day, which is the unofficial holiday dedicated to recognizing kids that come from military families. You may have heard the term "military brat" before, and while the word "brat" has a somewhat negative connotation, military brat is a term of endearment and is often worn like a badge of honor, according to the Department of Defense website.
The DoD noted that they were unable to locate the book Dunn referenced, but still believed the theory was worth highlighting. One of the earliest references to brats in the military setting was found in a song which was written in 1707. Dr. Grace Clifton, a professor at Open University in the United Kingdom, said that the song was written for a satirical play called "The Recruiting Officer" and it described the life of a soldier and their dependents, according to the DoD website.
