Brats: Our Journey Home is a documentary made by our friend, and fellow military brat,Donna Musil.  Just like we’re the very first children’s picture books for military brats, Brats: Our Journey Home is the very first documentary about the military brat experience.

Here’s a very in-depth trailer below and you can learn more about it here at the documentary’s website.

“I’m a military brat, actually an Air Force Brat – and proud of it.”
—Robin Roberts

As one of the anchors of ABC’s Good Morning America, a pioneer in Sports Reporting and a breast cancer survivor, Robin Roberts embodies some of the exceptional traits of a military brat: Courage, Perserverance and Resilience.

She has found an audience as an inspirational speaker and author as well. Read about Robin’s “8 Rules to Live By” here!

Robin Roberts: YOU are our hero!

Dear Ms. Ferguson-Cohen,
I just finished reading your book, “Daddy, You’re My Hero!”.  Though it is
geared towards children, I got a knot in my stomach.  I grew up an Army brat
myself and my family history is deeply rooted with the military.  My
grandfather served in WWI.  My father served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam
(career Army).  I myself served active Army during Panama and Desert Storm
and am now in the Air Force Reserves. 
Not only am I in the Reserves, but my ex-wife re-married to an active Army
sergeant who is now in Iraq whom my son and daughter are very attached to.
My daughter is old enough to understand the sacrifices involved with being
part of a military family.  But for my son,  all he sees through his little
eyes are two men he loves very much in green uniforms carrying large bags
and heading out the door, leaving him with a scary dark feeling in his heart
that he cannot understand and questions that no one can seem to answer.
With your book, maybe I can help to show him what it means to be in uniform.

In today’s world, our military faces more deployments than ever before that
place them in harms way on a daily basis.  More often then not, it’s the
children of our men and women in uniform that are left behind feeling scared
and confused.  Thank you for writing such a wonderful book for our service
member’s children.  As an Army brat and one in uniform, I salute you.
Gratefully,
Matthew C. Royal
