Our Eternal Vigilance T-Shirt is a statement of comfort and wisdom, a canvas that whispers tales of valor and freedom. Coming in an earthy heather burgundy hue, this unisex tee is a declaration of your commitment to the ideals that have shaped our nation.

On the chest is a stoic yet inspiring portrait of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and a key architect of the Declaration of Independence. His face gazes into the heart of the American people, reminding us of the monumental task he and his contemporaries undertook to forge a new nation.

Jefferson is accompanied by the phrase "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty" in graceful script. A powerful maxim attributed to him serves as a stark reminder of the responsibility that comes with freedom. This inscription can also be found on one of four sentinel statues outside the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

"National Archives - Home of the Declaration of Independence" proudly adorns the shirt. It's a nod to the sacred documents that have been meticulously preserved to tell the story of a nation's birth and its enduring mission to uphold its founding principles.

Drafted by 33-year-old Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced that the 13 American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire. Instead, they formed a union that would become a new nation -- the United States of America.

The original Declaration is on permanent exhibit in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum.
