VMGR-452 Yankees Coin — Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 452 Yankees Challenge Coin
Yankees — VMGR-452's reserve excellence in a challenge coin.
This VMGR-452 "Yankees" challenge coin honors the Marine Corps' aerial refueling and transport professionals from the reserve component. Challenge coins are a time-honored military tradition, exchanged between service members as tokens of unit pride, shared experience, and mutual respect.
VMGR-452 operates the KC-130J Super Hercules from Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, as part of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing's reserve force. The Yankees provide the same critical aerial refueling, assault transport, and tactical resupply capabilities as their active-duty counterparts, with the added distinction that their Marines balance military service with civilian careers. VMGR-452's citizen-Marines maintain full combat readiness, deploying alongside active-duty squadrons for real-world operations and exercises. The "Yankees" callsign reflects the squadron's New York heritage, and this challenge coin captures that identity in a collectible format that commemorates service with one of the Marine Corps Reserve's most essential squadrons.
This challenge coin represents VMGR-452 Yankees pride.
Perfect For: VMGR-452 Yankees current and former Marines, KC-130 aerial refueling community members, Marine Corps Reserve aviation professionals, and military challenge coin collectors.
