MAWTS-1/HMLA-367 Wiegand/Brannon Memorial Patch — Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1 / HMLA-367 Scarface Memorial Embroidered Patch
In honored memory of Wiegand and Brannon — a memorial patch from MAWTS-1 and HMLA-367 Scarface, honoring fallen Marines from the Venom 19 crew through the Wingman Foundation.
This memorial patch honors the crew lost in the Venom 19 incident, commemorating the sacrifice of Wiegand and Brannon — Marines connected to both Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron 1 (MAWTS-1) and Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367 (HMLA-367), the "Scarface." The patch is associated with the Wingman Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen military aviators and keeping their memories alive through the aviation community.
MAWTS-1, based at MCAS Yuma, Arizona, is the Marine Corps' center of excellence for aviation tactics, responsible for conducting the Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course — the Marine Corps' equivalent of Top Gun for all aviation platforms. HMLA-367 "Scarface" is a light attack helicopter squadron operating the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom. The intersection of these two commands in this memorial patch reflects the close relationship between MAWTS-1's training mission and the fleet squadrons whose crews attend WTI.
Memorial patches serve a sacred purpose in military aviation — they ensure that fallen aviators and crew members are never forgotten by the community they served. Every Marine who wears this patch carries the memory of Wiegand and Brannon, honoring their service and sacrifice.
Perfect For: MAWTS-1 and HMLA-367 Scarface members and veterans, friends and family of the Venom 19 crew, Wingman Foundation supporters, Marine skid community members, and memorial patch collectors.
Wiegand and Brannon — Venom 19 — never forgotten by the MAWTS-1 and Scarface families, their memory flies on with every mission.
