From the founding days of America our decsions have been all about one central concept: choice. The choice to leave the bonds of England, the decision to fight both Germany and Japan on two fronts, the choice to never quit, never surrender and never leave a brother or sister on the battlefield. Every merit and decision we have as a people have made in this country has derived from the concept of choice.
Freedom As A Choice!
Let’s face it, the United States who shares much if its history with England from a common language, similar religions and backgrounds did what others had not leading up to its departure from the British Commonwealth and that was to take back the freedom to choose self rule over colonial England rule and tyrrany of an English monarchy. It had to do with choice and choice means the freedom to do so. To think it up, take action and carry that out to its inevitable outcome. In our case the founding of the United States.
Choice comes from military planning!
Let’s face it. A whole lot of British soldiers never went home because the soldiers, guardsmen, minutemen, US Marines and members of the Continental Army decided let’s not stand in a line and fire our muskets at British Redcoats. Instead they made the choice to fire from trees, brush, brambles, in a non-conventional military manner. The British paid the price. Again this was the choice made by the tacticians of our US military down to the individual soldier who would not play by the rules set by others. Instead it was about choosing to fight on one’s own terms.
Freedom!
I for one feel lucky everyday I wake up in a country whose energy runs on the freedom found in the blood of each and every America. Our choices consume who we are and where we go, what we do and because America is the Land Of The Free and without much intrusion does have an environment that allows anyone to rise to achieve their dreams. Again its all about choice. Will I take a left when I should go right? Will I cross the line in the sand or make a comment where others fear to tread. Nothing is perfect but compared to other countries it isn’t bad either. Nothing is as perfect as we want it to be and guess what? You have the choice to make a difference and chnage it if you want to.
Military Choice!
From the day your recruiter asked you if you would make the choice to put on the uniform of the United States military and pedge and oath to the Constitution of The United States and its citizens you made a choice. You raised your right hand and you made a choice. Off you went to some bootcamp where professionally trained Drill Instructors took a slimy piece of whale excrement and trained it up to become a fine example of a US soldier, airman, US Marine, US Coast Guardsmen or US sailor. All because of a choice you made.
Battle Rattle! It is about choices.
Why Battle Rattle. Think of all the missions, ops, situations and roles our military takes when combating enemies all over the world? Each situation requires a different set of tools to complete the job and with that choice are made as to what type of gear is needed for the successful completion of those mission. What you take with you is one of the most important decisions you can make in the field.
Years ago Vision-Strike-Wear.Com adopted a similar philosophy when it came to chnaging the terrain called custom shirt design and printing. Fostered on the central concept of providing the tools for their customers they made the conscience decision to not adopt what other military shirt companies had done before them: make shirt they wanted to sell to you. Instead the decision was reached that it was more important that VSW customers have the freedom to choose what they wanted on their shirt and not visa versa. Battle Rattle military shirts was then created and since then a variety of Battle Rattle designs were made with features and options to build a custom shirt from the ground up by its customers.
The bottom line is that it creates a military design that customers can customitize on their own and see the changes on the screen as they select from a variety of options.
What are Battle Rattle Features and Options?
It’s a big list and with at least several designs the number of different options is quite literally in the millions. All branches of the military are covered and one of the most important things also to note is that American cotton shirts are available. The active duty, retirees, prior service, family and friends wanted a place where they could have American made shirts. We responded.
Military Branches Covered!
The Battle Rattle designs from Vision-Strike cover the entire military and every branch. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Within each military branch there are several highly detailed and razor shapr military designs many with a broad level of interest from MOS designs, Navy rate designs such as one for Hospital Corpamen to Coast Guard military graphics that feature Coast Guard Cutters or Jayhawks.

240 Years of Freedom and Choice!
When you think about the age of our country and how long we have operated with a heightened sensitivity towards choice once must realize that choice and freedom go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other.
How old is America? Here is an interesting little trivia. Well when you consider the lifespan thus far of the United States can stretch between the lives of only 4 US President’s not as long as you would think. We have been alive and kicking and our military men and women on the line, the fence, outside the wire, in the trenches, on the sea and in the air have been defending our way of life since our birth in 1776. Our military many people who might already know are actually as old as 1775 to include the US Marines and US Navy who share the same birth year and are one year older than the United States.
Just in case you didn’t believe you can go back to the founding of America based on the lives of just 4 US Presidents.
When President Obama was born (1961), President Herbert Hoover was still alive (1874-1964). When Hoover was born, President Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) was still alive. When President Johnson was born, President John Adams (1735-1826) was still alive. And just like that, we’ve connected present day to the Founding Fathers. (Source – The Washington Post)

And right before Veteran’s ay wouldn’t you know it. I know a few vets right now that are scratching their heads and asking to be put right back intot he fight when they heard the news that Mars had jsut assualted the beaches of Andros Island in the Bahamas. Never has the United States Navy repelled invading swarms of Martians during a beach assault! Reminiscent of the US Marines hitting the beaches at Tarawa, Tinian and Saipan and of course Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Now the US Navy gets into the fight as they defend a little island called Andros. So in the clamor of bullets and anchors and alien invaders Mars attacks and the US Navy defends.
The Invasion Begins!
So either sit idly by and watch the attack unfold and US Navy enlisted battle a small but determined Martian invader or get in the fight, grab your assault rifle and wade in on the fighting. Your choice!
Take Up Arms!
From behind the coconut tree you set up with your spotter and pick off these green blooded creatures hellbent on destroying our US Navy location. Not today. Not on this watch. Or better yet have the US Navy squadrons, submarines and surface warships bring the fight to the enemy. They have just the thing for this sort of incursion.
Navy Calls in USMC attack aircraft!
Just to keep control of the skies the USMC entered the fray and along withthe US Navy and its F-18 Hornets have been keeping the alien heads down. A few image of the Marine Corps aircraft enroute to the battlefield! Time to pushback!
USMC Blackhawks inbound!
Here come the Hornets!
USMC Osprey making its way to the attack zone!
Shortly after the fighting concluded, the Maritian buriel detail commencing with a few able bodied Seabees the enlisted got together and thought up a good one….let’s make a shirt to memorilize this event when the US Navy defended a little know Bahamian island called Andros. With the little but eventful battle now over and victory assigned to the US Navy life can return to hammocks, waterfalls and enjoying the sunny days and tropical nights.
Vision-Strike-Wear.Com enjoyed being called upon to create the only shirt ever made in remembrance of the Mars Attacks US Defends Andros Island.
Whether the United States Navy is at sea or at a shore command, Chief Petty Officer Association 1st Class Petty Officer Association, SCPOA or Junior Enlusted Association, a warship, a submarine or even a Navy Seal Team, csutom military design is important.

Have your unit design displayed on your favorite military hoodie, decal or poster, plaque or for some form of military fundraising activity.

Join the Black Flag Rally Against The Crown. Have you ever wondered what it might have been like to sail the raging mane, boarding Spanish ships laden with gold, taking over the crew of a Caribbean spice ship, thrust a sword between the ribs of an enemy or slept in fear that some Kraken would take the ship from below and splinter her as she dove for Davey Jones’s locker?
Joining the Black Flag meant living a life of freedom, but it also meant being constantly hunted by sovereign countries not keen on pirating activities that had stolen their precious gems, gold and pieces of eight.
Pirate Crows
Kings and Queens of Europe didn’t much like having their gold pirated and their frigates were sent to capture or kill pirates that made a business of robbing and pillaging the gold of Europe.
Under the black flag
Time to slit throats?
In the modern day pirating activities still go on. Somali pirates have taken sea going vessels and put their crews in harm way. Solution?
US Navy VBSS Teams
and US Navy SEALs!
The best way to remain unafraid of an enemy or in this case a pirate is to adopt their image, take it, make it your own and then frighten the enemy with the same tactics the black sails would create when it stirred fright in those it would take as a prize! The US Navy has adopted the Jolly Roger and with it has turned the ship and has cast fear into its enemies with more than just a black flag! It has adopted the Jolly Roger and from this grueling appearance a modern Navy brings fear to its enemies. The American Navy casts no inconsistencies. Fight her and you will lose!
The Faces of US Navy Jolly Rogers!
The Guardians Of The Gulf! During OIF the US Navy fleet served and fought its enemies on land, sea and air and the Jolly Roger was there!
5th Fleet has take on the visage of the the Jolly Roger ala Arabian Sea Jolly Roger style!
