Official 1st MARDIV 1st Marine Regiment Lone Star PVC Patch — The Regiment That Has Been First to Fight Since 1917
The Lone Star of the 1st Marine Regiment — one of the most recognized symbols in the Marine Corps infantry community.
The 1st Marine Regiment is one of the oldest and most decorated infantry regiments in the United States Marine Corps, assigned to the 1st Marine Division at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, under I Marine Expeditionary Force. Activated on November 27, 1913, the regiment has fought in virtually every major American conflict — from Belleau Wood and Soissons in World War I, to Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa in World War II, to the frozen Chosin Reservoir in Korea, through Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the fierce urban combat of Fallujah during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The 'Lone Star' has become a defining symbol of the regiment, representing the singular focus and fighting spirit that has carried the 1st Marines through over a century of combat. This PVC patch renders the Lone Star in durable, weather-resistant material that can handle the dust, mud, rain, and abuse of field operations — fitting for a regiment whose Marines have operated in every environment on Earth. The PVC construction means the colors stay vivid and the details stay sharp, whether it's mounted on a flak jacket, a pack, or a flight suit.
Perfect For: 1st Marine Regiment and 1st Marine Division Marines past and present, Camp Pendleton infantry community members, Marine Corps combat veterans, and anyone who carries the legacy of the Lone Star.
