About Us

Vet-owned gear and stories. NLT 21% backs Vet nonprofits.

War 'N' Tees is a Vet-owned, Vet-funded, Vet-focused American brand founded on 12/20/2020 by Sgt. Darrius Varnell Dickerson, U.S. Army (Ret.); Infantryman, Iraq War Veteran (OIF), 5/20 INF "Sykes' Regulars," who served in Recon's Sniper section.

We exist because Darrius believes GOD put him here to help halt Veteran homelessness/hopelessness in the USA. He keeps a trove of personal war photography his unit allowed him to keep; documenting his turning 21y/o in Diyala, Iraq. Those images power “Wartime Snapshots” and the apparel on this store. Through the brand, sales fund the mission.

The locked pledge: NLT (No Less Than) 21% of gross sales from digital products, program tiers, and Substack subscriptions, and NLT 21% of net profits from other qualifying offerings (incl. apparel/accessories, signed/personalized books, and similar), supports Veteran-focused nonprofits fighting homelessness and hopelessness. Short form: NLT 21% backs Vet nonprofits.

Recipients are referred to as the Magnificent 7: Including, though not limited to, Warfighter Advance; F3 Nation; Team RWB (Red, White, & Blue); Flanders Fields; Project Diehard; Project Refit; and American Warrior Project. We do not claim any single purchase is tax-deductible unless an official page says so.

Orders include a thank-you card handwritten and signed by the Founder/Owner, with a donation receipt attached when applicable. Motto, used sparingly: “Stay blessed; Free; & dangerous!”
