The Story Behind the Shirt
Francis Scott Key watched the British bombard Fort McHenry for twenty-five hours. He had gone to win the release of a captured American doctor. By the dawn's early light of September 14, 1814, he could just make out the American flag over the fort, and began the song on the back of a letter. In 1931 it became the national anthem; every verse ends on the words on this shirt, and the fourth gives the motto: "In God is our trust."
On the back: an eagle with wings spread over a plain shield in a sunburst, framed by laurel and oak, between "Land of the Free" above and "Home of the Brave" below. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark. More patriotic shirts made in the USA.
Built like a conviction: printed to order in the USA on the Bayside 5100. Made in the USA by Bayside, which says its tees go from dirt to shirt. Veteran-owned.
- Dirt to ShirtCotton grown, spun, knit & sewn on American soil.
- Veteran-OwnedFounded by a U.S. Army veteran — a continuation of an oath.
- Printed to OrderPressed in the States when you order. Built to last.
