On Friday, November 5th, we had the opportunity to visit the
Seattle Vet Center in Seattle, Washington, to see first hand how
the money donated from sales of the
French Label
t-shirt had benefited the veterans.
Homeless vets from all wars, including the current Iraq war,
were invited to come by the center to receive flu shots, boots,
flash lights, sleeping bags, tarps and a sack lunch. Most of these
items were paid for using part of the almost $16,000 we have donated
to the center from of sales of the
infamous
t-shirt.

Thanks to all of our fabulous customers. You are truly making a
difference.
