It hasn't happened yet, but someday we will explore space and the brave men and women who wear the red shirts will be brutally murdered by hostile aliens, or killed by stupid engineering mistakes and bad science.

   Imagine the comfort you'll give crewman number 7? Knowing that when he puts on that red shirt and gets eaten by a hideous amorphous alien blob thingy on Janus VI 18 minutes into Episode 27, that he didn't leave his children destitute?
   If 100 people only gave 10 cents per month. The Red Shirts Widows and Orphans Fund would have over $570 million by 2265. The year that Jim Kirk sets out on his missions as captain and red shirts start dropping like flies.

   When it does happen, who will be there to care for those left behind? Those who've lost a beloved husband, wife, mother, father, or significant alien roommate?

   If you want others to think you care, there is no better way to do so than to buy a quality T-shirt that says you do! Or a coffee mug, tote bag, hoodie, sweatshirt, those also make it appear that you really, really, really, do care!
