My father was an Army Medic and served in Vietnam during the 1968-1969 Tet Offensive. He served and returned to his country decorated with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with “V” Device, a Purple Heart, two US Air Medals, Army Commendation Medal, Vietnam Campaign Ribbon, and a Combat Medic Badge. I am forever proud of his service. I aim to give back to those who have made it possible for me to remain free to pursue my own life, liberty, and happiness.
Through various conversations with friends, family, and even some strangers, I have concluded that women, not just men, are avid supporters of the right to bear arms but are often less vocal. It was at this point that an idea began to form there should be a logo that identifies and unifies supporters of the Second Amendment.
I created the basic outline of a logo that is subtle and yet I hoped would universally represent Second Amendment supporters. I decided to go with a female figure—not because I wanted to represent women exclusively, it is my hope the design appeals to everyone—because I wanted to show that women also support the Second Amendment.
The t-shirts and sweatshirts currently offered by TWO-US are made of USA sourced materials, assembled in Nicaragua, then screen printed in Tennessee. However, TWO-US is dedicated to the pursuit of products that are fully sourced and made in the United States. This is not an easy task, but I will not give up. If you know of a company that fits TWO-US’s requirements, please refer them! Contact Us.
Date of action: 4 May 1968
Theater: Republic of Vietnam
Reason: For gallantry in action while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam: On this date, Private First Class Anderson was serving as a medical aidman with his unit on a reconnaissance in force operation when it was called upon to reinforce a nearby company in Tan Hiep. While proceeding toward the friendly force at approximately 1330 hours, his elemts made contact with the enemy. During the ensuing firefight which lasted eight hours, Private First Class Anderson maneuvered through intense automatic weapons fire to assist his comrades. When notified that a machine-gunner was seriously wounded, Private First Class Anderson disregarded his personal safety and crawled forward through the hail of hostile rounds to reach the individual. After locating the casualty who was laying in an insurgent ravine, Private First Class Anderson ignored his welfare while treating the man and carrying him to a more secure position. Private First Class Anderson continued to brave the vicious aggressor barrages raking his location as he moved throughout the perilous area and evacuated numerous injured personnel. His exemplary courage, selfless concern for his comrades, and determined professionalism were directly responsible for saving the lives of two severely wounded soldiers, and significantly contributed to the overwhelming defeat of a Viet Cong battalion. Private First Class Anderson’s unquestionable valor in close combat against numerically superior hostile forces is in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, the 1st Infantry Division, and the United States Army.

Date of action: 12 May 1968
Theater: Republic of Vietnam
Reason: For heroism not involving participation in aerial flight in connection with military operations against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam: On this date, Private First Class Anderson was serving as a medical aidman with his company during a reconnaissance in force operation northeast of Di An. As the unit proceeded throughout an area of swamps and irrigation ditches, it was suddenly subjected to heavy small arms, automatic weapons and rocket fire by an estimated platoon of Viet Cong hidden in bunkers and spider holes. Private First Class Anderson immediately advanced through the hail of hostile rounds to aid several of his comrades who had been wounded by the enemy fire. After helping evacuate his platoon sergeant, he returned to the forward area and crawled beneath concentrated enemy fire to another casualty. Private First Class Anderson succeeded in evacuating this individual and then quickly administered first aid. His courageous initiative and calm determination while exposed to relentless insurgent fire were instrumental in saving several American lives. Private First Class Anderson’s outstanding display of aggressiveness, devotion to duty, and personal bravery is in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, the 1st Infantry Division, and the United States Army.
My one and only piece of art ever purchased was a watercolor of a cowgirl slinging a rope. I love the colors and the vibe of the watercolor and wanted to have something that would embody my logo while complementing the watercolor. The graphic artist who helped me develop my logo is the same artist that created Gunslinger. He is super talented and super patient! And, I love that he included the TWO-US logo on her hat.
