This die-cut vinyl decal commemorates the valiant stand of the 1st Defense Battalion, USMC, at Wake Island during World War II. The design encapsulates the spirit of courage and resilience displayed in the face of overwhelming odds.

Visual Representation

The artwork may depict key elements symbolizing the battle and the unit’s mission. Possible design elements include: a stylized representation of Wake Island itself, perhaps with the silhouette of a coastal artillery gun ready to fire. Alternatively, the design could feature the iconic USMC Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem, integrated with imagery reflective of the island’s defense: rising suns symbolizing Japanese attack, or the silhouette of the island itself being defended by Marine Corps personnel.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design serves as a powerful symbol of the 1st Defense Battalion's unwavering dedication and bravery. The presence of the USMC emblem signifies the core values of the Corps – honor, courage, and commitment. The inclusion of defensive elements like gun emplacements or the representation of Wake Island alludes to the strategic importance of the location and the relentless efforts of the Marines to protect it. The overall effect is a visual tribute to the Marines' sacrifice and the enduring legacy of the Battle of Wake Island, reminding us of the unwavering commitment of the 1st Defense Battalion.

Die-cut vinyl decals: precision-cut shapes on premium water-resistant vinyl with a matte laminate and UV protection — built to resist sun, rain and everyday wear for long-lasting use.

These die-cut decals are trimmed exactly to the design, producing crisp edges and a professional finish. They’re made from thick, water-resistant vinyl and finished with a matte UV laminate that reduces glare while protecting colors from fading.

The production process uses eco-solvent inks for dense, even color and a protective overlaminate that helps the decal survive outdoor exposure. Rated for multi-year outdoor life when applied to the right surface, these decals give a clean, matte look without sacrificing durability.

  • Material: premium water-resistant vinyl engineered for weather resistance.
  • Finish: matte laminate that mutes shine and guards against scratches.
  • Print: eco-solvent inks for solid blacks and vivid color depth.
  • Protection: UV laminate extends outdoor life and helps prevent fade.
  • Longevity: rated to last multiple years outdoors under normal conditions.

Die-cut decals adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces — glass, metal, coated plastics and finished wood. They work well on bottles, windows, laptops and vehicle windows for short- to medium-term outdoor use.

  1. Prep the surface: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth; for residue use mild soap and water and allow to dry fully.
  2. Peel and position: lift a corner of the liner, align the decal and lay it down slowly, pressing from the center outward.
  3. Seal: smooth the edges with a card or your thumb to ensure full contact and reduce trapping air.

Note: to keep adhesive performance in wet conditions, apply decals to very smooth surfaces (for example: glass). Avoid rough or heavily textured materials where the adhesive can’t form a full bond.

Maintenance is low-effort. Gently wipe decals with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp microfiber and light pressure will clean the surface — dry immediately afterward.

Avoid abrasive pads, strong solvents or power washers; these can scratch the laminate or lift edges. Proper care preserves the matte finish and keeps colors vivid for longer.

Sizes are specified by the longest side. For example, a 4″ decal measures four inches across its greatest dimension. The die-cut follows the artwork’s contour so the decal sits flush with clean, professional edges.

Small variations can occur with intricate outlines, but the listed measurement always reflects the maximum edge-to-edge length for accurate placement planning.
