About this design

A proud son of a veteran hat and shirt for sons honoring a parent's military service, embroidered on caps and printed on tees and mugs.

This design reads PROUD SON OF A VETERAN in strong, unadorned capital letters. Growing up with a parent who served leaves a lasting mark on how you view duty, history, and the holidays on the calendar. Many sons never served in uniform themselves, or served in a later generation, and want a way to honor a father's or mother's military record without claiming a combat or era title that belongs to their parent.

The wording makes that distinction clear at first glance. Because there are no branch seals, campaign medals, or dates in the artwork, it fits a son honoring a World War II, Korean War, Vietnam, Cold War, Gulf War, or post-9/11 parent alike. It is a natural choice to wear to Veterans Day parades, Memorial Day cemetery visits, Honor Flight send-offs, and family cookouts, and sons often order it alongside an era cap as a Father's Day or Christmas gift for their dad.

Our dad hats, trucker caps, beanies, and polo shirts carry the design in raised direct embroidery. The heavyweight tees, long-sleeve shirts, hoodies, ceramic mugs, and stickers are printed to order.

How can a son request a deceased veteran parent's DD-214 or service records?

Under National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) guidelines, the next of kin of a deceased veteran—including a son or daughter—can request official military personnel files and DD Form 214 copies free of charge from the National Personnel Records Center using Standard Form 180 (SF-180) or online through eVetRecs.

Does the proud son of a veteran hat name a specific war or service branch?

No. The proud son of a veteran hat and shirt use clean, branch-neutral typography without war dates or service seals, so it honors any father or mother who served in the United States armed forces.
