Chest-width manufacturing tolerance: ±0.5 inch.
In the fall of 1994, thousands of paratroopers were sent home before they could complete their combat jump into Haiti. But many others air-landed to support Operation Uphold Democracy and spent some quality time in the Caribbean. This design honors their, um, sacrifice.

Unit History & Information
Operation Uphold Democracy followed the 1991 overthrow of Haiti’s elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In 1994, XVIII Airborne Corps prepared a forcible-entry mission built around the 82nd Airborne Division and a follow-on force centered on the 10th Mountain Division. A last-minute diplomatic agreement changed the entry into Haiti, and the airborne assault force was recalled. U.S. and multinational troops then supported security and the restoration of the elected government. Aristide returned in October 1994, and the operation formally ended with the transfer to a United Nations mission on March 31, 1995.
