Buy a shirt …

… from Ken’s Man’s Shop, 6025 Royal Lane, and donate to the Wounded Warrior Project. Shop owners Ken Helfman and son Kory Helfman, who lives in East Dallas, carry a shirt by Nat Nast, which depicts the image of a soldier carrying his brother in arms. “Ken’s has a long history of its friends and clients, who are in, have served, or have family involved in our armed services,” the shop’s website states. Ken’s donates 15 percent of the retail price of every shirt to Wounded Warriors, which helps injured soldiers. The casual short-sleeved shirts come in three styles, and they cost $165. kensmansshop.com, woundedwarriorproject.org.
