T-shirt Explosion
Kenneth Melniczek
Companies like Disney and Hasbro require that their licensees test their products for safety. In the case of t-shirts that means that you can be sure that the paint on your t-shirt and the dyes in the material have been tested and are certified to be free from lead and other harmful chemicals.

After the May 28 Realty Tower explosion, local clothing store Youngstown Clothing Company became committed to providing aid to those affected. It recently released a new clothing line where 100% of the proceeds will go to the United Way of Youngstown to help people impacted by the explosion.
A couple of months ago I did a full-color Print Then Cut Iron on Transfer T-Shirt tutorial which was a big hit, but print then cut can be a little challenging for beginners. So I want to dial it back a bit and do a very easy tutorial on how to make a T shirt with a Cricut with you!
Now the cool thing about the Cricut is that you can cut out a design or name from iron-on vinyl of various colors, patterns, and textures to create a uniquely personalized design. And if you do it right, your shirt can be machine washed up to 50 times before you start to have issues. I will show you the RIGHT way to do it in this video so you get great results the first time!
And now I can get my fingernail under the edge of the vinyl easier because of that little knick. If you have any problems, you can use your weeding tool to kind of pull it away like this. Once you have it started, you just continue to pull it away from the carrier sheet. And your design will stay on the carrier sheet and the part that you do not want will pull away, just like this.
First, if you are using a Cricut EasyPress, refer to the Cricut EasyPress Interactive Quick Reference Guide which will tell you how to prep your material and EasyPress, how to apply and how to care for the finished product. This takes the guesswork out of the process. You can view the guide at jennifermaker.com/easypress.
Position your design on your shirt. For this project we want to center it on the front. To find the center of your shirt, fold it in half by matching up your sleeves. Using your EasyPress or iron, put a little crease on the fold. Now, when you open your shirt you know exactly where the center is because there is a crease. Just line up the center of the heart with the crease. I also choose to put the design in the top half of the shirt.
To learn the proper way to care for your new shirt, allow 24 hours after applying your vinyl before washing. Turn your shirt inside out before washing without bleach. This design should least at least 50 washes.
Q: Is there another way I can design my t-shirts so it lasts longer?
A: Yes, I suggest using Infusible Inks if you want a longer lasting design. I have a Cricut Infusible Ink T-Shirt tutorial you might enjoy!

April 19, 2014. A grenade explodes at the end of an alleyway in Zarghun Shar, Afghanistan. Three Navy SEALs are hit. One of them is my son. He is propped against an earthen wall, drifting into unconsciousness. He is bleeding out from a wound in his leg.
I attached a picture I took during the first week we were here that shows the landscape around our camp. There is also a picture of me with a Carl Gustav rocket launcher. I carried that yesterday when we went out. I had 155 pounds of gear on for a mountain patrol. Miserable.
These transitioning veterans may not on first blush seem like a natural fit with your business or organization, and they may not be able just yet to articulate how their skill sets can be transferred from the military to the private sector. But we owe it to these job hunters who have traded their uniforms for button-down shirts and neatly pressed pants, to find a place for them in the organizations that we built while they were on deployment.
It would be almost three weeks after his injury in Afghanistan before I saw my son. During that time, Johnny was flown from a hospital at Bagram Air Force base in Afghanistan, to a hospital in Germany, to Walter Reed Hospital in D.C. and finally to Portsmouth Hospital in Virginia. Along the way, we would get a picture of Johnny and his injured teammate in their hospital gowns and t-shirts, dazed, hair sticking up straight, with purple hearts pinned to their chests. Another picture shows their team dog Gunner who had also been hurt, wearing a Purple Paw medal on a ribbon around his furry neck.
When I did see Johnny for the first time after he was injured, we said hello as though nothing had happened. A low-key embrace as I walked into his house in Virginia Beach, a joke about his wild hair. Johnny did not need to tell me how difficult it is to return to an America that seems indifferent and weary of the war. Hard to limp into GameStop and be given short shrift by a 20 year old store clerk who sizes up and dismisses the dude with the ragged beard, asking about the new NFL Madden video game.
It is tradition in the SEAL teams that when you get your trident, you are given a knife with the name of a SEAL who was killed in action; each new SEAL carrying the figurative weight of his predecessors. Langlais was a member of the famed SEAL team 6, and one of thirty troops killed when their helicopter went down in Wardak Province Afghanistan in 2006. He was 44. He was on his last deployment. He left a wife and their two young sons.
Six months later, Johnny was out in California as part of a SEAL cycling team helping to raise awareness for wounded veterans. They biked 500 miles along Highway 1, hugging the coast, the Pacific Ocean dipping in and out of view. But the man whose accomplishments dwarfed all others was a triple-amputee former marine who crushed it riding a modified bicycle.
Two months after Johnny got home from Afghanistan, he and his father went to Arlington National cemetery. Together under the bright sun, they gazed over the graves of so many soldiers only recently dead. Johnny paid his respects graveside to Louis Langlais, and then to another Navy SEAL, Brendan Looney, who also died in a helicopter crash. 29 years old. Zabul province, Afghanistan.
If the importance of letters to those fighting in a war has not changed in more than 250 years, neither has the importance of remembering the dead. Looking out to the rolling sea of 220,000 white headstones in Arlington National Cemetery, to a collective experience of service and war, a veteran may finally see and feel that for which there are no words.
Few of us have shadow boxes on our walls with an American flag that we carried in war, and a knife that symbolizes the death of a teammate. But all of us have the opportunity to help veterans find what they want and need most when they transition out of the military: meaningful work and a meaningful life.
Take what may seem like a chance. Hire a member of the Special Operations Forces, and you will be repaid ten-fold. They will give the concepts of teamwork and accountability new meaning; and they have years of training in how to learn new and essential skills under the most stressful and urgent of circumstances.
Still, we did what we always do at Thanksgiving. Though not a particularly religious family, we held hands, bowed our heads, and said a prayer as timely now as it was on that evening four years ago. A reminder to make room at each of our tables and in each of our lives and workplaces for returning veterans.
