"I am grateful that The IGY6; Foundation has become part of my journey, and I’m proud to be part of this community. Thank you for continuing to show veterans that even after we take off the uniform, we still have people standing beside us saying, “I got your six.”
D Kelley · Retired Army Veteran
★★★★★
"The IGY6; Foundation gave me a safe space to step outside of that isolation. Through the events and the people I met, I found connection, understanding, and a sense of belonging. I was able to spend time with other women veterans without feeling like I had to explain everything I was feeling or experiencing."
K Adair · Air Force Veteran
★★★★★
“Their team is made up of veterans helping veterans — men and women who truly understand the battles that come after service.”
J Turrigiano · Turrango’s Dry Fire Range & Training Facility
The story behind the semicolon

A pause, not an ending.

In writing, a semicolon marks the place a sentence could have ended — but didn’t. For many of our heroes, that pause is the moment they chose to carry on. IGY6; stands for that choice, and for the community that shows up when it matters most.
