Got Your Six

Do you know what "Got your six," means?  It is a military term for; I got your back and you've got mine.  Imagine the face of a clock, 12 is facing forward, between 12 and 3 is to the right, between 12 and 9 is to the left; and finally 6 is the back. 

"Got Your Six" is an initiative to support our veterans and their families.  This was inspired by our First Lady, Michelle Obama's Joining Forces initiative. 

Joining Forces Initiative Addresses:
  1. Jobs
  2. Education
  3. Health
  4. Housing
  5. Family
  6. Leadership
The "Got Your Six" came about from a veterans working group that was convened by the Clinton Global Initiative.  Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska; was the first senator to back the initiative.  This is not a partisan backed plan, but an American backed plan.  It is wonderful way for everyone to show our appreciation and support for the military.
