The brands have partnered with [Operation Homefront](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salute-to-service) to help give back to veterans and military families as well as support such initiatives as the Holiday Meals for Military. The products include the 'Cheez-It Original' crackers, which have been stamped with patriotic imagery of the American flag and other Americana-themed shapes to make it great for Independence Day barbecues. The '[Town House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-day-dippers) Star Spangled' crackers, on the other hand, come in an American flag-stamped profile that's perfect for dipping.
