In honor of Memorial Day we remember those who have lost their lives serving the United States, including a close friend of Chubbies, 1SG P. Andrew McKenna, Jr. Andrew, who served in the Army for 17 years, was killed in action in his 5th tour in Afghanistan last fall. After he passed, his friends and family reached out to us, and let us know how much he loved his 'Mericas shorts. For today, in his honor, we've renamed our 'Mericas "The McKennas" and we're donating 100% of the profits from the McKennas' sales to the 1SG P. Andrew McKenna, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund. Words can never express how grateful we are for Andrew and the countless other veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country. We encourage everyone to go out of their way to thank the men and women of our armed forces, not just today, but year-round. (You can read more about Andrew's service in this ArmyTimes article — definitely worth the read.) - Rainer, Tom, Kyle & Preston The Chubbies Founders |
