IHOP Launches Fundraising Campaign To Support Military Children Who Lost A Parent

In America, the month of May is officially recognized as National Military Month.

According to Military Benefits, it's a time when all Americans are encouraged to reflect on the sacrifices service men and women make for their country, and to honor any current, former, or fallen members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Over 20,000 children have lost a parent in the line of duty in the last 35 years, with many families financially struggling after the loss of their loved one, the group's website states.

In honor of National Military Month, IHOP has launched a new fundraising campaign.
