We’re partnering with Rags of Honor, a shop that employs veterans - including homeless veterans - to hand out thousands of USS John S. McCain shirts on the Mall this July 4.
We’re off to a HOT start. But if you can chip in a few bucks, we can get more shirts on the mall for people to wear.
Here’s an image of the shirts getting ready to move:
But we’re running out of time to print and get them to D.C. So we’re asking:
Can you make a $10 contribution today?
Imagine it. July 4. This year’s National Mall event in Washington, D.C. Cameras pan the crowd and there’s a sea of USS John S. McCain t-shirts.
It’ll be awesome.
All our best,

Today, we learned the news that Donald Trump is turning the national 4th of July celebration into a 2020 campaign event, complete with a ticketed VIP section for friends and supporters on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. That’s not what America is about.
So, when he looks out past his elite VIPs, we want him to see a crowd filled with Americans wearing USS John S. McCain t-shirts. Why? Because the 4th is about honoring the idea of a country bigger than oneself, and generations of McCains showed that though military service and sacrifice.
We’ve already paid for and printed thousands. Veterans will be handing them out at the event. And now Rags of Honor - a shop that employs homeless veterans - tells us we still have time to print more.
But we can’t do it alone:
Time is running out to get this done. We’re going to tell Rags of Honor how much money we have for the shirts, they’re going to print through the night and drive them to D.C.
Thanks for chipping in toward that effort.
