Official VMM-263 REIN Thunder Chicken Bring the Thunder Chest Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 Reinforced Thunder Chickens "Bring the Thunder" Chest Embroidered Patch
Bring the Thunder — VMM-263 REIN's chest patch means business.
This VMM-263 (Reinforced) "Thunder Chickens" chest patch features the squadron's aggressive "Bring the Thunder" motto, worn on the front of flight suits and jackets as a bold statement of the reinforced squadron's combat capability. Based at MCAS New River, North Carolina, VMM-263 REIN assembles a composite aviation combat element under MAG-26 and 2nd MAW.
"Bring the Thunder" is more than a motto for VMM-263 REIN — it's a promise. When the Thunder Chickens deploy as a reinforced ACE with a Marine Expeditionary Unit, they bring the full spectrum of Marine aviation combat power: MV-22B Ospreys for assault transport, AH-1Z Vipers and UH-1Y Venoms for attack and utility support, and CH-53E Super Stallions for heavy lift. The chest patch format makes this one of the most visible items a pilot or crew member wears, placing the "Bring the Thunder" message front and center where everyone can see it. The "Gopher Broke" secondary motto reinforces the Thunder Chickens' all-or-nothing approach to combat.
This chest patch declares VMM-263 REIN's thunderous capability.
Perfect For: VMM-263 REIN aircrew, composite ACE flight suit wearers, Thunder Chickens personnel, and Marine aviation chest patch collectors.

If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
