SGT Shawn Michael Farrell was part of A-CO 1-32, 3rd BCT, 10th Mountain Division. On April 28th 2014 he was part of a team that got ambushed from multiple positions. Supporting a U.S. Army Special Forces ODA he manned a mk47 grenade launcher. Two hours into the TIC he had gone through most of the cans of ammo, his truck was shot to hell, and the MK47 went down. He quickly pulled out a SAW and exposed himself over the chicken plate to engage multiple advancing enemy combatants. He was struck by a rifle round through his arm and into his chest, but his last words to the team were “I got him”.

Developed at the request of the Special Forces Soldiers who were involved in the fight, this shirt honor’s SGT Shawn Michael Farrell actions on April 28th, 2014. The shirt features SGT Shan Farrell’s initials “SMF” along with the date he was KIA. On the back, the Gold Star signifying a combat loss, a scroll with his last quote, and the combat goat head for his service supporting 3rd Special Forces Group.

The shirt will be available for 10 days only. After this period, Art 15 will tally up the sales of the shirt and write a check to Shawn’s wife, Allison Farrell, to place into the scholarship fund she has set up in his name.

The expected ship date of the shirt is around June 2nd, 2014.
