On February 23, 1945, six Marines put a flag up on Mount Suribachi. It was the second one that morning. The first was too small for the men down on the beach to see it.
The Corps those Marines belonged to was founded on November 10, 1775, in a Philadelphia tavern, eight months before there was a country to fight for. That is the whole idea behind this shirt. We took the most recognizable flag raising in American history and moved it back to where the lineage starts, with the Betsy Ross flag going up instead.
Patrick Henry gave the Second Virginia Convention the line at the bottom in March of that same year. Liberty or death. The men on that hill 170 years later were still answering it.
