VMM-363 Lucky Red Lions Small Shamrock Tab — Embroidered Patch
Lucky Red Lions — Fortune Favors the Bold
The shamrock tab of VMM-363 represents the legendary luck that has followed the Red Lions through seven decades of combat and peacetime operations. From atomic tests to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, the Lucky Red Lions have lived up to their name. This small tab patch is a perfect addition to any Red Lions collection.
VMM-363, the Lucky Red Lions, was activated on 2 June 1952 at MCAS Santa Ana as HMR-363. The squadron earned its nickname from Korean Marines during early operations and participated in Operation Desert Rock — the first atomic test to use ground troops. Deployed to Vietnam in 1965, the Red Lions flew UH-34Ds and later CH-53As in combat. After transitioning through multiple helicopter types and deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, the squadron was redesignated VMM-363 and transitioned to the MV-22B Osprey. Now based at MCB Hawaii under MAG-24 and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, the Lucky Red Lions continue their Pacific legacy.
Perfect For:
VMM-363 Lucky Red Lions veterans and active duty Marines, MV-22 Osprey community, MAG-24 personnel, MCB Hawaii community, and Red Lions heritage 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.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
