Campaign Specific Veteran T-shirts

The U.S. military is a team of teams and often chunks of that team is split up and sent to places to do their duty. During the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), U.S. forces were sent to multiple places around the globe, but most deployed in support of operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Operation Enduring Freedom veteran t-shirts and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran t-shirts are wonderful gifts for GWOT veterans. In addition, Vietnam Veterans and veterans of other operations, like Desert Shield or Desert Storm, would also appreciate veteran t-shirts to show their pride in service.

Veteran t-shirts can also have custom embroidery using personalization and customization widgets like USAMM’s USwag tool. This tool enables the customer to put just about anything onto multiple items, including t-shirts.

Random Veteran T-shirts

In addition to the aforementioned veteran t-shirts, there are loads of random veteran t-shirts that don’t necessarily have a category. Some are funny, some might be considered inappropriate, but all of them are awesome.

Some of these veteran t-shirts might display military units, while others might highlight military occupational skills. Others might celebrate state pride while others might showcase military awards, badges, or medals.
