Got Your “6” ? TJF Celebrates Veterans Day 2016

November 11, 2016 by ahouston

veterans-day-2016

In the military, the endearing term “Got your 6” dates back to World War I, meaning “I’ve got your back.

Today,  veterans, we’ve got your back! In appreciation of the hard working veterans attending HBCUs, we’re asking that TJF supporters make a $6 donation to today’s “Got your 6” campaign in honor of Veterans attending HBCUs.

Historically, African-American’s have been fighting all their lives; for freedom, for equality, and for their country.
