Fort Knox chronicles the life of a military family: Dad, Major Joe Knox; Mom, Jane Knox; and their two boys, Donald and Wesley. The family has picked up and moved — again — thousands of miles from family and friends to take up residence at Joe's new assignment at Fort Lincoln. Donald and Wesley have moved before, but that doesn't make it any easier on them. They must face down new bullies, master a new school system and new teachers, and navigate a new community. Added to these pressures is the distance the move puts between them and their beloved grandmother, who's a known troublemaker if not a known felon (yet). On top of all that, there's the strain that military life puts on their parents' otherwise happy marriage.

They need to come up with a prostate cancer awarness ribbon. It could be flourescent orange, a color associated with manly activities such as big game hunting and construction work.

@ bereed206 – That is absolutely false, George Carlin and Dan Fogelberg both died of prostate cancer. There are three different types, a less aggressive that would most likely not result in your death, assuming how young you are when it develops, a moderately aggressive form that may kill you and a real aggressive form that is very serious.
I was diagnosed two and a half years ago and my oncologist put it in the middle and told me that without treatment, there was a 25% chance I could die within 5 years.
One other thing I learned was that some Doctors suspect that if a male and lives long enough, he will eventually develope prostate cancer.
@ briatollah – There is one, it is light blue and can be purchase from the Prostate Cancer Foundation

Light blue?

@ briatollah – Yes, I it relates to our culture using blue to represent being masculine and pink being feminine. The Breast Cancer Ribbon is pink. There is also a “family ribbon” that is pink on one side and blue on the other, representing breast and prostate cancers.

Yeesh! I like the orange idea better. What about lung cancer? Black?

I always thought of light blue as “baby blue.”
