Tartan name: Space Force Veteran's "Beyond the Blue"
Designer: MSgt (Ret.) Douglas G Hunter
Tartan date: 1 May 2023
Please give the background, rationale and history for the tartan: Space Force Veteran's "Beyond the Blue" The “Space Force Veteran's Tartan” organization was created, to honor Space Force Veteran's & family members. Members voted to amend the tartan name of Space Force Veteran's with “Beyond the Blue”. Like the Air Force Tartan, also named the "Billy Mitchell" Tartan, this design is also named "Col Anthony Zilinsky tartan" in honor of U.S. Space Force Colonel Anthony Zilinsky III, whom the designer served with at RAF Lakenheath.
The design, repeats endlessly, represents the journey, the equipment, the signals/data, Guardians have and will travel to and from space time & time again.
OD Green represents the plant life of our planet & nod to the Army Air Corps.
Next a hue of blue represents the oceans & our sky, and a white band represents the clouds in the sky.
The black of space follows with a small band of white for stars & orbits of the equipment maintained and operated.
The last fields of black, grey, and blue are colors that represent the Space Force.
