My Mommy is an Airman

It can be hard for the children of members of the Air Force to understand why Daddy or Mommy has to go away on a mission for a long time. In simple text and pictures, My Daddy is an Airman lets kids know that Daddy has an important job: helping poor people around the world, capturing bad guys, and making the world a safer place to live.

As Air Force families are called to make greater sacrifices in a world of change and heightened security, this book plays an even greater role in helping our little ones.

“Children ages 4-10 can have a sense of participation in what is going on if their parent has been activated.”
