Officially Licensed USMC CH-53 Commemorative Patch Honoring the heavy lifters of Marine aviation. The Sikorsky CH-53 family of helicopters has served as the Marine Corps' heavy-lif t platform for over five decades, beginning with the CH-53A Sea Stallion and progressing through the CH-53D, the CH-53E Super Stallion, and the latest CH-53K King Stallion. These massive helicopters are the only aircraft in the Marine inventory capable of lifting the heaviest vehicles, artillery pieces, and equipment that Marine ground forces need in the fight. From Vietnam to the Gulf War to Afghanistan, the CH-53 has been the backbone of Marine logistics aviation — moving everything from downed aircraft to humanitarian relief supplies. This officially licensed commemorative patch celebrates the entire CH-53 lineage and the Popasmoke community that has kept the legacy alive. Perfect For: CH-53 aircrew and maintainers, Marine heavy helicopter squadron veterans, Popasmoke community members, and Marine aviation commemorative collectors. The heaviest lifter in the Marine Corps. Show more
