Official VMFA-533 Hawks 4th of July PVC Patch — Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 Independence Day PVC Patch
Hawks celebrate freedom — VMFA-533's Fourth of July in PVC.
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533 (VMFA-533), the "Hawks," delivers their patriotic Fourth of July special edition in durable PVC construction. Based at MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, and assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 31 (MAG-31) under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, the Hawks operate the F-35B Lightning II — the Marine Corps' fifth-generation stealth strike fighter. This Fourth of July PVC patch combines VMFA-533's squadron identity with Independence Day imagery to celebrate America's founding.
The F-35B Lightning II brings stealth, sensor fusion, and STOVL capability to the Marine fighter community, and VMFA-533's Hawks are among the squadrons leading this transformation. The Fourth of July holds special meaning for military service members who swear an oath to defend the Constitution and the liberties it guarantees. This PVC patch blends red, white, and blue patriotic flair with the Hawks' squadron identity in weather-resistant, durable construction that maintains vivid detail through daily use and outdoor conditions.
Perfect For: VMFA-533 Hawks active-duty members and veterans, F-35B Lightning II enthusiasts, MAG-31 and 2nd MAW alumni, Fourth of July and patriotic patch collectors, PVC patch fans, and anyone who celebrates American independence with Marine fighter squadron pride.
Hawks fly for freedom — VMFA-533, happy Fourth.
