This story is late, but but worthy of being covered. JB Sports Gear produced a T-shirt to welcome home a local soldier, Corporal Zachary Higley who had been serving with the US Marine Corps Reserve in Afghanistan for the past year. The T-shirt, based on a field of fire engine red, sports the Town of Farmington emblem on the front and a patriotic design on the back.
Proceeds from the sale of the T-shirt were donated to the FIsher House which builds and maintains long term housing near military hospitals for families of seriously injured soldiers.
No indication of how many T-shirts were sold, but here's hoping they sold enough to have a sea of red T-shirts at the Unionville and Farmington (Connecticut) Memorial Day parades.
Personally, I don't feel enough is done for our vets returns from battle. This act of using T-shirts is great way for a community to show love and support for a local veteran. Welcome home, Zachary.
Do good things.
