We The People: Honoring America’s Protectors

Written by Old Glory Bank | Aug 19, 2025 3:26:59 PM

Introducing a limited-time offer, from a collaboration between Old Glory Bank and Dalton Starr of We The People Apparel

At Old Glory Bank, we stand firmly with the men and women who protect our communities, secure our borders, and safeguard our freedoms. This year, we’re proud to announce a powerful new collaboration with We The People Apparel and the launch of a shirt designed specifically for our nation’s Protectors: law enforcement officers, firefighters, U.S. Border Patrol agents, and active-duty military personnel. 

This is more than a shirt. It’s a statement; a visible symbol of gratitude, unity, and unwavering support for those who risk it all so the rest of us can live free. 

 

Why We Joined Forces

When Old Glory Bank looks for a partner, we don’t just look for talent. We look for shared values. Dalton Starr, the owner and operator of We The People Apparel, isn’t just a skilled designer or a successful business owner. He’s a protector, a patriot, and a man who lives out the principles we hold dear every single day. 

From the moment our teams began talking, it was clear that we saw the world the same way: service is a calling, patriotism is a duty, and “American-made” is more than a label. It’s a promise. Together, we knew we could create something that not only looks great but carries meaning in every stitch.  

Meet Dalton - Protector, Patriot, Entrepreneur

Dalton is more than a business owner. He’s a protector by both profession and principle. A Maryland State Trooper for over five years, he serves on the Civil Disturbance Unit’s SERIAL Team, responding to large-scale unrest and safeguarding high-profile events, including President Trump’s second inauguration. As a recruiter and community advocate, his mission is to maintain law and order in the toughest times, protect the vulnerable, and humanize the badge. 

His entrepreneurial journey began in 2012 at just 18 years old, when he founded We The People Apparel with a clear purpose: to promote self-reliance, celebrate patriotism, and stand against those who would leave Americans defenseless. Based in Maryland, his company has spent over a decade producing unique, patriotic designs, 100% American Made on the East Coast, while supporting fellow U.S. businesses. 

Why Old Glory Bank Chose We The People Apparel

Old Glory Bank and Dalton align on more than just a love of country. We share a belief that words like “patriotism,” “protection,” and “service” must be lived, not just spoken. Dalton embodies the same values we champion. Faith in the American spirit, dedication to protecting what matters most, and a commitment to keeping American businesses strong. 

His life’s work, both in uniform and in business, is about honoring those who serve. His designs speak to the same audience we exist to serve, and his commitment to producing quality, American-made products mirror our dedication to keeping money and jobs right here at home. 

When you see “Old Glory Bank” and “We The People Apparel” on a shirt, you’re seeing a collaboration built on trust, purpose, and shared conviction.
