What the print says

The words "Female Veteran" anchor the top in bold, distressed lettering, followed by "Touch Me and Your First Lesson is Free" across the lower half. A silhouette of a woman positioned in a self-defense stance occupies the center, her frame strong and ready. Behind her sits a weathered American flag in red, white, and blue tones, its distressed texture giving the whole design a worn, authentic feel. The lettering matches that gritty style, as if the words themselves have been through something real. Together, the flag, the figure, and the message create a portrait of veteran confidence.
