Operation Eagle Claw — 436th Military Airlift Wing

On April 24, 1980, a joint U.S. special operations force launched one of the most daring rescue attempts in American military history. Operation Eagle Claw was ordered by President Jimmy Carter to free 52 American hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran. The 436th Military Airlift Wing played a critical support role in this high-stakes mission — a mission that demanded everything from the men who flew it.

This shirt is more than apparel. It's a tribute to the crews, the planners, and the warriors who answered the call — even when the mission didn't go as planned. Wear it as a reminder that courage isn't measured by outcome, but by the willingness to go.
