Join Vet2Vet of Family Services of Westchester and Blue Star Families of the New York Tri-State Area for a fun-filled day of celebrating our military kids, both past and present.

The dandelion is the flower of the military child because it puts roots down almost anywhere and is impossible to destroy.

Come join us as we celebrate these resilient kids with exhibitors, games, giveaways, interact with farm animals, food, our partners, Veteran Service Organizations, Military Service Organizations, and others!

All are welcome!

Why the Dandelion?

Dandelions are made up of three main parts: The flower (seeds), the stem and the roots. They are tough, can survive almost anywhere and are constantly moving and starting over. Dandelion seeds don’t have any say on where the wind will take them when it is time to venture on. And just like military kids who are along for the ride, they go where their parents and the military take them and find a way to be resilient and start all over again. They put down roots, create new friends, find routines and then a strong wind blows and they get to do it all over again.

We at Vet2Vet of Westchester support Blue Star Families mission, which focuses on empowering military families to thrive by connecting them with their civilian neighbors — both people and organizations — to create strong communities of support.
