This shirt is a tribute to the brave men and women who served aboard the versatile Kaman HH-43 Huskie, affectionately known as "Pedro." Renowned for its reliability in rescue and firefighting operations, the HH-43 was a true workhorse. This design was created at the request of a customer just like you—thank you for your service and for helping us honor this piece of aviation history.
The Kaman HH-43 Huskie "Pedro" T-shirt features the USAF Pararescue and USAF Fire Protection logos, representing the legacy of those who flew these heroic missions. The HH-43 was a key asset during the Vietnam War, known for its ability to fly low and land when necessary for rescue operations. It was also one of the two helicopters that participated in Operation Mayflower, helping rescue American citizens from Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War.
Crafted from soft, durable ring-spun cotton, this shirt offers both comfort and quality, making it a fitting tribute for those who served and those who appreciate military aviation history.

Thank you for visiting Badges of Honor. We are owned and operated by firefighters. We sell Firefighter, Law Enforcement, EMS and Military Clothing. Most of our apparel are NOT screen printed as we use a direct to garment printing (DTG) process. This will ensure that the art will not crack and/or peel off. Direct to garment printing has become popular because it is almost 100% eco-friendly. While screen printing and other methods often use synthetic plastisol-based inks, DTG printers use environmentally friendly, water-based inks, with the exception of certain mild solvent based and discharge inks used on a small percentage of printers. DTG printing simply requires the image to be of adequate resolution and it can print a full color image directly onto the garment. Our T-shirts are of high-quality name brand cotton or cotton blend shirts. Also, our printers do not print white ink so if an image has white in it that area will be the color of the shirt. The image is not as shinny as in traditional

Great T
I just have one SMALL grumble. We always sad 'Blades of wood'. Minor and still like it. Will probably buy more different designs that are available for the HH-43. I have passed on the site address to my fellow crew members that flew Pedro.
