Heroes Series: Nick Koulchar Tee

An Oscar Mike Hero is an injured Veteran who is conquering their disability and inspiring others. We choose to call these individuals "Heroes" because they won't ever call themselves one. Each Hero helps design their shirt and their personal story is printed on the inside. ABOUT THIS HERO From 2006 to 2010 Nick Koulchar served in the 1st armored division of the US Army. While stationed in Iraq, he was hit by a roadside bomb resulting in the loss of his legs. While recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his brother Mike never left his side, giving him the motivation to adapt and hit the “reset button” on life. Nick focused on his transition and took up adaptive hand cycling, cross fit & obstacle races… as a double amputee. He even switched careers to allow more time for adaptive sports and focus on his goal of joining the US Hand Cycling team. Nick shows that true strength comes from one’s ability to ADAPT. "I Adapt Therefore I Overcome" printed on the back of a lightweight, ultra soft tee.  "Adapt or Die" printed on front left breast. American Flag (assaulting) printed on right sleeve. Oscar Mike logo printed on left sleeve. Nick Koulchar's story printed on the INSIDE of the back.  *Tango Yankee for your purchase which directly benefits the Morale and Welfare of our injured veterans and their families.
