Gadsden Snake Tee

For as long as America has had an armed presence, snakes have slithered their way into American design. Appearing as early as the 1750's with Ben Franklin's famous "JOIN, or DIE" emblem, snakes came to represent the colonial resistance to British rule. America adopted the use of both the glass snake as well as the rattlesnake. Each species came to represent different things but they both shared one common trait, they were species native to North America. We here at Oscar Mike have adopted the rattlesnake as well and wrapped one around our logo. The anonymous "American Guesser" once wrote, "She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage." We think that fits pretty well... *Tango Yankee for your purchase which directly benefits the Morale and Welfare of our injured veterans and their families.
