Rags of Honor is a Chicago-based T-shirt shop focused on employing our nation’s returning veterans, many of whom are in danger of homelessness. Many of the Rags of Honor employees have felt this struggle first hand, with one stating, “I figured when I came back from war I would like, be a hero. But it’s not like that.”
Owner Mark Doyle says, “The most profound and inspiring words you can tell a vet are, ‘You’re hired.'” The company has grown from 4 to 22 employees since it opened.
