Freedom Riders Since 1776
250 Years of Freedom. One Nation. One Ride.
Celebrate 250 years of American independence with a design that blends Revolutionary War history, patriotism, and the spirit of the open road. Inspired by George Washington’s leadership during the fight for freedom and the determination symbolized by the crossing of the Delaware, this artwork re-imagines America’s founding generation as Freedom Riders carrying the cause of liberty forward.
Featuring George Washington leading a pack of riders beneath the original thirteen-star flag, this design honors the courage, sacrifice, and resolve that forged a nation. From the icy waters of the Delaware to the highways of today, the message remains the same: freedom is never given, it is earned, protected, and passed on.
Created in recognition of America’s 250th birthday, the Freedom Riders Since 1776 design is perfect for patriots, veterans, motorcycle enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone who takes pride in the American story.

CCT History
Combat Control Teams (CCT) were established in 1953 to provide air traffic control and command-and-control capabilities in support of U.S. and allied special operations. Evolving from WWII pathfinders and glider operations, CCTs became essential for establishing drop zones, landing zones, and assault strips in denied or austere environments. Over the decades, they’ve deployed alongside every U.S. SOF element, enabling precision airpower in conflicts from Southeast Asia to the Middle East. CCTs are uniquely qualified as FAA-certified air traffic controllers and hold a wide array of advanced skills: they are certified Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs), combat divers, static-line and military free-fall parachutists (HALO/HAHO), qualified in demolitions, small unit tactics, survival/evasion/resistance/escape (SERE), communications, fire support coordination, and reconnaissance. Their ability to integrate air and ground operations under extreme conditions makes them one of the most versatile and mission-critical assets in U.S. special operations.
