Have you thanked a veteran lately? Do you know any veterans who are struggling? Maybe you don’t but I am betting you know a veteran. Here’s why this is important .. VETERAN’s Day is next week.
Got Your 6 is a campaign that unites nonprofit, Hollywood, and government partners. Got Your 6 believes that veterans are leaders, team builders, and problem solvers who have the unique potential to strengthen communities across the country.
As a coalition, Got Your 6 works to integrate these perspectives into popular culture, engage veterans and civilians together to foster understanding, and empower veterans to lead in their communities.
Got Your 6 knows that most veterans leave the military seeking new challenges, and the campaign ensures that there are opportunities for them to continue their service.
What Does “Got Your 6” Mean?
In the military, “Got your six” means “I’ve got your back.” The saying originated with World War I fighter pilots referencing a pilot’s rear as the six o’clock position. It is now a ubiquitous term in the military that highlights the loyalty and cooperation found in military culture. The Got Your 6 campaign chose this term, because it is emblematic of the many skills that veterans bring back into their communities when they return home.
The Campaign:
National veteran campaign GotYour6.org has launched a brand new PSA featuring Hollywood heavyweights Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper and Sally Field, and others!
The video was released at the third annual Got Your 6 Storytellers East event in New York City recently, an event that celebrates the unique stories of veterans who are using their operational training to change the world around them.

Great use of star power and organization to work for a super worthy cause. We need to serve that population better, and everything helps, but Hollywood can really influence people to help.
