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 and hopelessness in the USA. He keeps a trove of personal war photography his unit allowed him to keep — documenting his turning 21 in Baqubah, Iraq. Those images power Wartime Snapshots and the apparel on this store. Through the brand, sales fund the mission.

The locked pledge: no less than 21% of gross sales from digital products, program tiers, and Substack subscriptions, and no less than 21% of net profits from other qualifying offerings (including apparel, accessories, 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 Warfighter Advance, F3 Nation, Team RWB, Flanders Fields, Project Diehard, Project Refit, and Operation Homefront. 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!

Sister brands and longer protocols (including Execute Order 42 / EO42 and the upcoming R3 — Roots, Resistance, & Regality: 21 Tiers of Self-Command) live one click deeper. This storefront is where you shop gear, books, and digital tools rooted in lived service.
