Home of the Brave
by Lee Cataluna
The military has its own language, with many short ways of saying long things. PCS means Permanent Change of Station, or “to move.”
The young teens in Home of the Brave PCS a lot. How do the children of military families deal with the constant moving, worrying about deployed parents, best friends who PCS overseas, and never knowing how long they’ll be in a particular school? Sometimes, you have to make a home wherever you end up.
An excellent character-driven piece for middle school students.
Inspired by interviews with hundreds of military dependents and their families, teachers, principals, counselors as well as active duty and veterans from all branches of the service.
