Sports have power. They unite people, teach values, and inspire hope and pride. In the United States, sports have powered efforts to bring citizens together, shape them, and project a vision of what it means to be American. But sports convey power to athletes too— power to break social barriers and protest injustice.

Don’t get caught up in the bureaucracy. Select a beautiful gift for a special person from our exclusive red tape collection. 

By the end of the American Civil War, the practice of binding important documents with red ribbon was common throughout the western world. Civil War veterans' records were bound in red ribbon, and the difficulty in obtaining those records to file pension claims led to the modern American use of the term "red tape."

We invite you to read what they wrote about our authentic government Red Tape in the pages of the Washington Post here.

Military bag designs have evolved since the early, simple, single strap haversack bag of the 19th century. Pockets, rings, and clips were added as equipment and supply needs changed. By 1910, an additional pouch was attached to the top center of the haversack flap to carry a meat can, knife, fork, and spoon. In 1944, the Army began replacing the haversack and the canvas field bag with a combat pack based upon the 1941 U.S. Marine Corps pack.

In our day and age of needing to carry a laptop, cellphone, wallet, keys, and baby supplies all in one bag, military-inspired bag designs give us all the pockets and practicality we need for our daily missions.
