SMITHFIELD, N.C. - eTradeWire -- A Smithfield-based clothing brand has grown from a start-up to national brand in less than three years, and today they announced a new initiative dubbed "Freedom Club" to give back to their loyal customers.

The unabashed conservative clothing company, started by two friends from North Carolina, launched the "Freedom Club" so they can give even more back to the community their brand honors: first responders.

"By first responders, of course we mean the police, fire fighters, and paramedics who will rush to the scene to save our life," said Barrett Johnson, Shield Republic Co-Owner. "But I owe my life to hard-working teachers, nurses, and blue-collar life-savers of all stripes who make our communities great."

Johnson said he hopes the new loyalty initiative will remind hard-working, blue-collar workers that there are American-based companies out there that "have their backs."

Anyone can sign up to the Freedom Club, and followers can earn points toward perks with follows on Instagram, Facebook, and even celebrating a birthday. Every purchase earns points as well, and participants can get 200 bonus points for signing up now by visiting: https://www.shieldrepublic.com/pages/freedom-club
