Our Story
D-Day Wear®: The commemorative military clothing company.
First opened in 2004, with the mission as a commemorative Military apparel retailer and clothing designer to keep history alive, one garment at a time, while giving back to those who served.
D-Day Wear® clothes are designed to remind people of all ages how fortunate we are that so many gave so much for our countries in their time of need. We want people of Canada, The United States of America (USA), Great Britain / The United Kingdom (UK) and other countries that were part of the Allied Forces: Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia (Slovakia / Czech Republic), France, Greece, The Netherlands, Norway and Poland to proudly wear our clothing designs as a symbol of patriotism on a daily basis.
Soon, after the last World War II Veteran passes away, their stories will just become a page in a history book. The onus is on us as a society striving to be a caring community to keep the soldiers' sacrifices alive. People wearing D-Day Wear® garments with unique commemorative designs will create / generate year-round public awareness while paying tribute to all the heroic Veterans and the brave individuals that are presently serving our great nations. Be it commemorative t-shirts, polo/golf shirts, sweatshirts, hat/caps, or hoodies, the screen-printed and embroidered designs are artistically unique and most any person, regardless of their country of origin, when wearing our commemorative designs will be making a statement such as it states on our business card, “Patriotism never goes out of style”.
More about D-Day Wear® the fashion apparel leader for celebrating military events; Customers enabled us to donate $54,250.00 when we participated in providing a name plaque for every fallen Canadian soldier from the D-Day Invasion: These plaques have been placed on the memorial pillars at the Juno Beach Center in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France on the beach where they gave their all. We were able to have this all in place for the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014. This will forever mark in history the ultimate sacrifice they made at the beaches of Normandy on D-Day June 6th, 1944
When D-Day Wear was created, other than the Juno Beach Center, there were not any memorial pillars to honour / honor the sacrifices made by the American and British soldiers that were K.I.A. on Omaha, Utah, Gold and Sword beaches.
Having completed the first part of our mission to honour / honor every fallen Canadian Soldier, we ended our relationship with the Juno Beach Association and changed the company's philanthropic direction.
We have since
switched direction and D-Day Wear® is now focused on promoting awareness and funds to provide
Veterans and First Responders suffering from P.T.S.D. with a professionally
trained service dog. These dogs will help them overcome the unseen wounds
of war and the psychological distress due to the job stress which they endure from
repeated exposure to traumatic events.
We’ve dealt with the past, we are now dealing with the present, so that people can have a future!
Service dogs can cost up to $30,000 to train and there is a waiting list for Veterans and First responders to have a service dog of their own. So please help us help them.
To date, our customers have enabled us to donate over $98,175 to various organizations through the sale of our unique commemorative clothing brand and for that, we thank you. For more information of the donations, please click here: About Us.
