[FHH] Announces New Project

[Fashion Has Heart] just announced and released the details of their newest project within the Corporal Hoffman Series. You've heard plenty about the work with CPL Hoffman in the past, now, just multiple that by 5.
The [FHH] organization is bringing 5 wounded heroes, one from each branch of the U.S. Military to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to work with 5 established artists. Together, they'll collaborate to share the hero's inspirational story through graphic design, which will then be produced into a t-shirt by Threadless. Yes, thee Threadless!

In addition to the shirt design, the heroes will also work with the Bates design team to create a one-of-a-kind boot. Bates Footwear Brand is the world's largest military footwear provider, and all 5 heroes had worn Bates while they served... Therefore, it's no accident why Bates was asked to be a part of this project.
