<strong>Due to the overwhelming amount of beautiful photos we received this week, Military Spouse brings you a special #MilitaryCrushMonday: Military Dads and Their Kids. It is almost April, the month of the military child. We are kicking things off early by honoring those kids who go through so much with parents in the military. Here are some of the top photos this week! </strong> <img class=" size-medium wp-image-3183 alignleft" src="https://militaryspouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/ElizabethLoman-Hayes-240x300.jpg" alt="ElizabethLoman-Hayes" width="240" height="300" />Photo Contributor: Elizabeth Loman-Hayes <strong>"<span data-reactid=".vu.1:3:1:$comment10155380807375599_10155381374995599:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.$text0:0:$0:0">The way she's looking at her daddy makes me swoon.
