The goal is build a sense of community with military families, and with military children specifically, the press release said.
Those interested can take part by turning buildings or facilities purple with purple lighting, building a sign, or creating a ribbon of child artwork on a sidewalk of a building or home.
People should wear purple and create a social media post by using #honorthroughaction and #purpleup, the press release said.
Both the USAA Convent building downtown and the Quarry smokestacks will be lit up in purple again this year.
