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.

About The Design:

There is nothing more powerful than being UNITED under one Flag. To those of us who believe in this great nation, we take great pride in our flag, what it represents, and especially those who fought and died for her. To us America is not just a country; it is a way of life, worth living and dying for. This design is a depiction of the flag as being a part of who we are. We carry it always within us. Proudly.

About The Design:

Everyone has a different set of values, and a different priority for each of these. For us, there are 5 Things that we do not tolerate to be messed with, and we aren't afraid to let you know it. We put our families first, whether they are by blood or by bond. Our faith comes in close second. Our friends, flag, and firearms, follow suit. We don't think of this as a ranking, we think of this as an outline, as a pure and simple list of values that we will protect and defend with our lives.

Design:

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$$.
