IGY 6 Patch #1601

Approx 1.25" x 3"
The semicolon is from Project Semicolon. When an author writes a sentence and is at the point of ending it but wants to continue, they can use a semicolon. This creates a pause. Almost like a thought, a reconsideration of the cessation of a sentence. Or in this case, your life. IGY6 stands for I Got Your Back. The colours also carry a meaning. TEAL is for PTSD awareness. BLACK is for the heavy hearts that many of us carry for those who suffer from PTSD and those who have lost loved ones because of PTSD. RED is a symbol of the blood that has been shed. YELLOW is for Support our Troops. The WHITE background can also mean on common or neutral ground. To say there is NO judgement or preconception here. So when you combine it all together, it is a way of saying that if you are thinking about taking your life or feel utterly trapped and alone, PAUSE, I got your back. I will help you through it and stand by your side. If you ever see someone wearing it, know that they will help you and are there to listen. 

REMEMBER; SOMEBODY HAS YOUR BACK.
