This is the former Brazilian Minister of Defense sitting across from me, telling me it was real.

In America, our equivalent would be a former Secretary of Defense, like a Jim Mattis or a Robert Gates.

When we first started selling merchandise at AmericanAlchemyMerch.com, we had no idea how complicated and annoying selling merch could be.
