The design honors the \u003cstrong data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"335\"\u003e8th Marine Ammunition Company\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"369\"\u003e36th Marine Depot Company\u003c\/strong\u003e, Black Marine units connected to Iwo Jima service during World War II. Official Marine history notes that at Iwo Jima, the 8th Marine Ammunition Company and the 33rd, 34th, and 36th Marine Depot Companies served as part of the shore party for V Amphibious Corps, with elements of the 8th Ammunition Company and 36th Depot Company landing on D-Day, February 19, 1945. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003eVisually, the design has a \u003cstrong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"836\"\u003epremium military tribute feel\u003c\/strong\u003e. The gold “MONTFORD POINT MARINES” headline, Marine Corps emblem styling, red banners, laurel leaves, ammunition crates, ships, black sand battlefield energy, and Iwo Jima island background all give it a serious commemorative look. It feels like a veteran tribute shirt, a Black history shirt, and a military heritage piece all in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1255\"\u003eThe three Black Marines in the center are the heart of the design.
