Honor the roots of American nursing with this powerful tribute tee, featuring a highly stylized American flag, in a round variation, on both the front and the back, rendered in bold, brushed strokes paired with a quote from Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross: "The Patriot Blood of My Father Was Warm in My Veins." This bold front and back design pays homage to the courage, patriotism, and pioneering spirit of the woman who transformed battlefield nursing and laid the foundation for humanitarian care in America.
Product Details
Printed on the Bella Canvas 3001, this shirt delivers a soft, breathable, retail-quality fit built for long shifts and patriotic occasions alike. Made from 100% airlume combed cotton (heather colors are cotton/poly blends), it's pre-shrunk and durable enough to hold its shape and softness through frequent washing. The classic unisex cut flatters a variety of body types, whether worn fitted or oversized, making it a meaningful addition to any nurse's wardrobe.
Who It's For
This design speaks to nurses with military ties, veteran healthcare workers, Red Cross volunteers, nursing historians, and any nurse who feels a deep sense of pride and service in their calling. It also makes a powerful gift for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Veterans Day, nurse appreciation week, or for the nurse who values the historical legacy behind their profession.
