225th anniversary of those heroic struggles

The front of the T-Shirt displays a logo
designed to commemorate 225 years of patriotism
The back of the T-Shirt provides
renditions of noted individuals who have been written about in history
books documenting pre-revolutionary and Revolutionary War in North
Carolina. In the case of Robert Mebane, these accounts come from actual
descendants of men who fought in the historical battle for freedom.
Those who fought for American independence are pictured on
the left (Maj. General Nathanael Greene, Lt. Col. "Light Horse" Harry
Lee, and Lt. Col. Robert Mebane {for whom the town of Mebane is named},
while British loyalists and officers are pictured on the right (General
Charles Cornwallis, Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton, and Col. David
Fanning). All in all, this T-Shirt represents a rich tapestry of a
great American heritage.
