About Memorial Day: Where the Mother Road Meets the Road to Remembrance
Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of each May and is dedicated to remembering U.S. service members who lost their lives in wartime or peacetime service. The design on this shirt ties directly into that tradition, combining patriotic imagery with the enduring spirit of Route 66.
During World War II, Route 66 played a critical role as a supply line and troop transport corridor, with bases like Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri relying on the highway for logistics. After the war, countless veterans traveled Route 66 while relocating, seeking new opportunities and building their futures. Roadside diners and service stations often displayed poppies as symbols of remembrance, a practice that continues today. Wearing this shirt keeps that history alive, honoring the sacrifices made by those who traveled both the open road and the path of duty.
