Why Do We Stand for the National Anthem?

With the recent trend of anti-patriotism on the rise, we at Nine Line Apparel hope to arm patriotic Americans with gear that not only makes a statement, but sends a message to those who disrespect our nation's glory and symbolism. We first took action when our great flag was being desecrated, stomped on by cowards who lost sight of the true meaning of Old Glory. Now, we are taking a stand for our national anthem.

Originally a poem written by Francis Scott Key during the war of 1812, the Star Spangled Banner was officially declared the National Anthem by Congress in 1931. Since then, it has been an icon of American resilience, perseverance, and exceptionalism. When our troops battle overseas for our freedoms, it is the Star Spangled Banner that rings in their ears and in their hearts. When our nation faces danger, turmoil, or strife, it is this song that unifies and strengthens our bond as citizens.

We at Nine Line do not stand for the national anthem because it is the cool thing to do, or because a professional athlete says we should. We stand for the anthem out of respect: respect for the struggles that our forefathers faced when establishing our young nation, respect for the countless lives of the brave men and women who were lost in pursuit of our liberty and independence. We stand in appreciation of the freedoms that we are fortunate enough, lucky enough, to enjoy every single day of our lives. We are the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave, and we stand for our National Anthem.

Design:

• Front: Drop Line
• Back: The Pledge
• Sleeve: NineLineApparel American Flag

Description:

The Pledge of Allegiance is one of the few things that we are taught from a young age and remember all of our lives. It is a testament to everything that our nation holds dear, a sacred vow of patriotism to defend our country and our countrymen. It is in the heart and soul of every American man, woman, and child. We stand by the Pledge in our everyday actions, in our reverence to our Flag, and in our steadfast determination to keep our country United and Indivisible...With Liberty and Justice for ALL.

Design:

• Front: Drop Line
• Back: Thin Blue Line
• Sleeve: Nine Line Apparel American Flag

Description:

The job of a police officer is one that must be tread lightly. It is the line between justice and corruption, between order and chaos. It is the line between civilians and criminals. It is the line between the love of the people, and, sometimes, their hatred. Such is this difficult and dangerous profession that takes the lives of officers daily throughout the country. We choose to honor and support our law enforcement. We choose to uphold the Thin Blue Line.

Design:

• Front: Drop Line
• Back: Don't Tread on Me
• Right Sleeve: Nine Line American Flag

The Gadsden flag is a symbol of the most true and original values to America as a nation: independence and freedom from tyranny. We are a people who will not give in to oppression. We will not allow others to abuse, mistreat, or exploit our hard work. Like a snake underfoot, we will strike if tread upon. Here in America, we are born free, and we live proud.

• Front: 22 A Day
• Right Sleeve: NineLineApparel American Flag

Description:

The terrors of war are unbearable for some of our nation's soldiers and veterans. Scrutiny, lack of support, and misunderstanding, are significant contributors to the sense of despair and hopelessness that is prevalent among many of those who have served our nation. As a result of this, as many as 22 veterans per day take their own lives. Veterans should not be dying, after putting their lives on the line in service to our country's freedom. Those who have served deserve only the best support that is available, especially in terms of psychiatric and medical care. They should be honored and protected. For this reason, Nine Line hopes to raise awareness of the severity of this issue.

Just recently, the 22 a day epidemic hit home for Nine Line, and we are saddened to say we have lost one of our own. He was an employee, a former Army Ranger, and a friend. In the wake of this tragedy, we have decided to donate proceeds from the sale of our 22 a Day design to the victim's family, the wife and baby girl he left behind.

We want to take this opportunity to tell all of you who might be struggling or hurting right now, that you are not alone. Reach out to a friend, a battle buddy, or even call a veteran support hotline (our friends at 22 Until None are always standing by: 866-254-9961). There is ALWAYS another option.

We are our brothers' keeper, and we shall not abandon them.

Across the country, every Friday has become known as RED Friday, a day each week when we as citizens, veterans, domestically stationed military, etc., can take a moment and honor those who aren't safe at home with their families, because they choose service before self. Here at Nine Line, we Remember Everyone Deployed every single day, and we encourage YOU to do the same.

Description:

There is a brotherhood that exists between firefighters that many of us will never understand. Theirs is a bond that spans years, that is filled with experiences both uplifting and disheartening, that unites them in a common understanding and empathy. Yet they push on. No matter how harrowing, they are not deterred, and they are ever willing to sacrifice themselves to save the lives of others. If a life is in danger, there is no hesitation but to run full force into the flames. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Such is the dedication of a firefighter.

Design:

• Front: Drop Line
• Back: I'll Stomp You
• Sleeve: Nine Line Apparel American Flag

Description:

Nothing infuriates us more than seeing the desecration of our nation's flag, a flag for which the blood of countless Americans has been shed. These days it's becoming more and more fashionable to be anti-patriotic, a travesty which our forefathers would be ashamed of were they alive today. Yet even those who mock our great flag, are being protected every day by the brave men and women who volunteer to defend them from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. They fight to protect Old Glory, to protect your freedom of choice and speech, and they have seen their brothers and sisters die alongside them in these battles for that freedom, seen that same flag folded respectfully into a triangle and solemnly handed to a husband, wife, child, or parent. We the people have the freedom to choose how we treat the flag. We at Nine Line choose to not be ungrateful. We choose to treat our flag with the respect it deserves.

Stomp my flag? I'll stomp your a$$.

• Back: Get The Hell Out
• Right Sleeve: NineLineApparel American Flag

Description:

One of the traits that makes our nation so great, is the fact that we are a democracy. We vote for representatives who create our laws. We vote for bills that affect our communities. And if we disagree with a decision, we are given the chance to vote for a different candidate, in a different term, or push for an appeal. But we do not flee. We do not abandon our country, our heritage, because we don't like a policy that is put in place. We stick it out, because this is our land, our home. If you don't like it, you can get the hell out.

Design:

• Front: Drop Line
• Right Sleeve: Nine Line Apparel Flag

Description:

The Drop Line is iconic to the Nine Line brand. When Tyler Merritt, one of our founders, was a Black Hawk pilot in the army, and one of his primary objectives was to utilize the Nine Line medevac to remove injured soldiers from the battlefield. The Drop Line symbolizes this evac situation, with the helicopter at the top, and the rope coming down into the Nine Line name. It represents our company's veteran roots, and our giveback mentality as a company, always striving to be our brothers' keeper.

Design:

• Front: Benghazi
• Right Sleeve: Nine Line Apparel Flag

Description:

Following the removal of Muammar Gaddafi from power, the country of Libya was left in a largely ungoverned state, with militant and radical Islamic groups rising in power, as the fledgling government struggled to find its footing. Benghazi had been a major hub during the Libyan revolution and acted as home base for the CIA operatives in that area. The existence of the facility, and its personnel, was classified until after the events of that fateful night.

On the evening of September 11, 2012, the attack began at the US State Department compound. The CIA base (the "Annex") was one mile down the road, and the sound of gunfire and explosions echoed throughout the city. Six security officers, ex-military and security contractors at the base, geared up and prepared for action. They were: Mark Geist (former Marine), Kris "Tanto" Paronto (former Army Ranger), Sergeant John "Tig" Tiegen (former Marine), Tyrone Woods (former SEAL), and two other operatives (a former Marine and former SEAL), whose true identities remain confidential. Fully armed and vehicles loaded, they were told to stand down, to let the Libyans guarding the compound handle the situation. As the security team waited impatiently, distress calls came from the burning compound, and they decided that they weren̥t going to wait any longer, orders be damned.

The six man team set out in armored vehicles towards the compound, making the last leg of the one mile journey on foot. When they arrived, Ambassador Chris Stevens was missing, and officer Sean Smith was dead. Before the team could retreat back to the Annex with the surviving State Department staff, a firefight broke out at the compound. The team fought back, protecting the personnel until they were able to load into the armored vehicles and return to the Annex.

Shortly after reaching their base, however, it, too, was under attack. The firefight waged through the night, and amidst the mortar fire, security operatives Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty lost their lives. Doherty was the only support that came for the security team that fateful night, flying in from Tripoli when the distress calls were sent. No other air or ground support was dispatched, and the men were left on their own to defend the staff, until they were all finally able to evacuate the facility and reach the airport.

While the security team fought for their lives and lives of the personnel, elsewhere in Benghazi, Ambassador Christopher Stevens was horrifically tortured and killed.

This shirt is for those who lost their lives that fateful night. It is for those men who stood their ground, and refused to stand by while their fellow Americans were being attacked and killed. This shirt is for Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith, and Glen Doherty.

Nine Line is proud to support the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation, and have donated over $20,000 from the sale of the Benghazi design.
