April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize the more than 1.6 million children with parents serving in the U.S. armed forces. Like their service member parents, military children make meaningful sacrifices in support of our nation’s safety. This month, we honor and celebrate them, including the many who are part of Missouri’s military families.

We had the privilege of joining the U.S. Army and Governor Mike Kehoe yesterday, March 31, for a ribbon cutting celebrating the opening of the new General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital.

Upgraded facilities include a new hospital, clinic, ambulance garage, and central utility plant to replace the aging 1960s hospital to provide modern, patient-centered care for service members, retirees, and families at U.S. Army Fort Leonard Wood.

We appreciate the efforts of partners, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Defense Health Agency, and JE Dunn Construction, to provide this significant investment in the health and readiness of our service members.
