25th Infantry Division — Tropic Lightning — Vietnam War Tribute Tee

They called them Tropic Lightning — and the name fit. Operating out of Cu Chi and pushing through some of the most contested jungle terrain in South Vietnam, the 25th Infantry Division moved fast, hit hard, and held the line across Hau Nghia, Tay Ninh, and the Iron Triangle. Jungle patrols, search-and-destroy missions, border operations — the soldiers who wore the Tropic Lightning patch did it all, day after day, from 1961 to 1975.

This tribute tee honors every one of them. The design is restrained and respectful — a quiet nod to the men who came home carrying memories the rest of us can only imagine. Wear it to reunions, memorial ceremonies, veterans’ events, or any day you want to carry that legacy forward with dignity.

Built to Last — Like the Division It Honors

• Two fabric weights available (4.0 oz/yd² and 6.0 oz/yd²) — regular, true-to-size fit for all builds
• Tagless construction — all-day comfort, no irritation
• Assembled in the USA from globally sourced parts

Wear It For

25th Infantry Division reunions, Vietnam Veterans Day (March 29), Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies, military history events, or any day you want to stand for the men who served in the jungles of South Vietnam. Pairs naturally with worn denim, boots, and the kind of quiet pride that doesn’t need an explanation.
