The National Military Family Association created Operation Purple Family Retreats in an effort to help military families reconnect and strengthen their relationship after deployments.  The Operation Purple Family Retreats are FREE to those accepted to attend.  Transportation costs are not included.  However, families who attend a retreat will be provided with a $200 Visa gift card at the completion of the Retreat to offset the cost of travel.

Operation Purple Family Retreats are open to ALL families from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Air Force, both active duty and reserve component, as well as families of the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration.
