Attention all Marines and Marine Corps patch enthusiasts! Check out this fine example of an olive-drab (subdued) unit logo patch for Second Marine Division. During WWII, Marines actually wore division patches as a shoulder sleeve insignia. The practice was discontinued in 1947, but the patches are still worn on all manner of off-duty civilian caps and clothing as novelty items. (This, of course, is not a WWII patch, but a modern subdued variant.)
NOTE: This traditional subdued olive-drab patch goes best with woodland pattern camouflage. For the new ACU subdued version, please Visit my eBay Store! There you’ll also find other 2nd MarDiv patch listings in full-color, subdued olive drab, and desert tan!
2nd Marine Division has a long, distinguished list of battle honors, beginning in WWII with hard-fought battles in places like Tarawa and Saipan! They have continued their proud history since then, with units from 2nd MarDiv deploying to hotspots all over the globe. For Operation Desert Storm the entire division deployed to Saudi Arabia, where they fought to liberate Kuwait! Division is based at Camp Lejeune, NC.
Recent Decades: Of course, Marines from 2nd Division made history once again in the hard fought battles of Operation Iraqi Freedom! Units from 2d MarDiv served with I MEF in the initial push to Baghdad in 2003. Following that, 2nd Division Marines rotated in and out of Iraq, and many fought in the battle for Fallujah!
This is a NEW and UNUSED patch. It is NOT a war relic but a recent manufacture item! Thick-textured, full-embroidered with merrowed edge. Please note: There is NO plastic heat-sealed backing for this one. Back of patch is cloth. Colors are clean and bright. See ruler in photo for size comparison.
