Hanks’ lapel pin explained: Hollywood unveils ‘Got Your Six’ campaign
The full story behind Tom Hanks Lapel Pin quixotic Oscar night accessory — a simple numeral 6 pin on his left lapel — was finally revealed today to be an ambitious entertainment industry program aimed at helping U.S. military veterans.
The “Got Your Six” initiative, which takes its name from military jargon meaning “I’ve got your back, and you’ve got mine” (the six o’clock position designates the back of a military formation), launched at this morning at a star-studded news conference at the Wilshire Boulevard SAG-AFTRA offices in Los Angeles with the stated goal of creating “a wide array of opportunities for veterans to successfully convert their leadership and operational training into positive civilian roles in communities nationwide.”

i can’t agree with you more.my BIGGEST pet peeve is when mil wives think that everyone needs to kiss the grnuog they walk on. as if they’re better than anyone else because of their sacrifices. i hate when they go ON ON and ON about all that they give up for everyone ELSE. i think the most PROUD and respected spouses of military are the ones who DO IT and say NOTHING. the ones who have the pride in their hearts instead of all over their blogs or pouring out of their mouths. ooh rah to you for posting this.
