U.S.M.C. Marine Bulldog

One day I was thinking about a cool t-shirt I had in high school that had a U.S. Marine Bulldog on it that was given to me by the older brother of one of my best friends who was in the Marine Corps. and I decided I wanted to create a cool Marine Bulldog of my own.

I was never in the service but my brother was in the Air Force during the Gulf War back in Operation Desert Storm and my dad was in the Army and various and assorted uncles were in one branch or another so I did this t-shirt character design and even opened a Cafe Press Store where you can get a shirt or mug or other things they offer.

I haven't decided what to do with the proceeds from any sales but most likely I will donate them to some sort of organization to help care for veterans when they return home. One organization my dad was involved with was the Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association because he was a veteran and he was paralyzed but not during combat (he was hurt on the job as a NYC Firefighter which I'll post about at a later date)
