"Our Mission is to get 13 Stripes (The American Flag) on every wall in America while giving back 13% of every order to a non-profit organization or charity."
The Story of 13 Stripes Supply Co.
In February of 1998 my battle buddy (Richard Achen) and I joined the United States Army National Guard as a couple 17 year old farm boys looking for a way to pay for a secondary education and a way to serve our country. We didn't know each other but quickly became best friends. We were in the same section in the same unit in Aberdeen, SD, 2nd of the 147th Field Artillery. We were both mechanics (him better than I) and we both had a deep love for the United States of America - our Patriotism is unwavering. We both served in Operation Iraqi Freedom II for 14 months earning us Veteran Status. I was honorably discharged although I still regret getting out, but Rich stayed in and still serves honorably today. We both own our own businesses and have amazing wives and families.
The reason we joined together and started 13 Stripes Supply Co. was because of the absolute ridiculous treatment of the American Flag and the flat out disrepect for the Military, Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue and First Responders. We will not sit back and tolerate people with no respect. We will not let their voice be louder than ours. It is not in our DNA. We have vowed to be positive and uplifting with the guidance of God in our venture but we will be serious, unwavering and direct in our vision for the company. We are PATRIOTIC to the CORE.
