D-Day 75th Anniversary shirt with HISTORY NERD® and Paratrooper
Our exclusive HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper on the front, and on the back, "Operation Overlord", "75", and the dates June 6, 1944 and June 6, 2019 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Operation Overlord, D-Day, and the invasion of Normandy Beach.
Includes a special 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.
This same HISTORY NERD® design with a World War II paratrooper is available as a women's v-neck shirt, crewneck sweatshirt, and a sticker.
A similar design, with the words "D-day June 6, 1944" and a WWII Paratrooper is also available as a magnet as well as a bookmark.

- 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt in Military green — Grown, knitted, dyed, and sewn in the USA. 4.3 oz. XS - 3X. See size chart.
- Our standard 4.3 oz. Poly-Cotton shirt in Light olive that gets rave reviews. Our softest shirt. It's also our thinnest and lightest. It is very high-quality and long-wearing, but it is thin and light. Lots of people love them, which you can see in the reviews, but if you judge t-shirt quality based on weight or thickness, do not get this one. Instead, get the 100% cotton shirt above. XS - 3X. See size chart.
Note that the $3 price difference for the 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt is our higher wholesale cost; there is no additional margin.
Included with every shirt: A 3" x 4.75" card with the "Orders of the Day" that went to the troops that morning on one side and, on the other side, the handwritten message that General Eisenhower drafted the night before in the event that the operation was not successful. Read more here.
Thanks to Ben Powers for his helpful suggestion about the shirt color—not as dark as the shirt we use for the WWII soldier shirt—and for additional information for the hang tag that helps deliver an even more powerful account of what actually happened.
Thanks to Larisa for getting this all going by pointing out the anniversary last fall and encouraging me to come up with a special design even though, up until then, almost all of our designs were focused on the Revolutionary War.
Thanks to April for the photo of her at Normandy on the 75th and to Tamara for the graduation photo.

Great T ... for a true history nerd.
Perfect color. Love the understated desending trooper.
Great product that gets smiles and the occasional question from those who see it.
