Default magnetic signs

I have a few of those "support the troops" mag stickers on my modern. One I stuck and won't move. I tried gas and acetone. Nothing. Car is a Tahoe with clear coat. WhattaIdo?

First thought, it's not a 'magnetic' sign.
Second thought, a 'stick on' and if so try heating with a hair drier.

Thanks. the heat works. I found that if I heated the bottom portion it lifted with some ease. Decal remover did not touch the stuff.

I an a Vet and have other stickers about vets.
