USMC 1st Bn 7th Marines Patch — Embroidered Patch
The First Team — 1st Battalion, 7th Marines
The First Team's legacy speaks for itself. From Chesty Puller's command on Guadalcanal to Manila John Basilone's Medal of Honor defense, from the Chosin Reservoir breakout to the march to Baghdad, 1/7 has produced more Marine Corps legends per square foot than any other battalion in the Corps.
1st Battalion, 7th Marines is based at MCAGCC Twentynine Palms as part of the 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. The battalion's extraordinary roster of famous Marines includes Lieutenant General Lewis "Chesty" Puller, Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, General Raymond G. Davis, and General James Mattis. Multiple Medal of Honor recipients have served in the battalion's ranks across WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The First Team has deployed to every major conflict since World War II and was the first Marine unit to establish defensive positions in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield in 1990.
Perfect For:
1/7 Marines past and present, Twentynine Palms Marines, 7th Marines regiment personnel, 1st MARDIV veterans, Chesty Puller and Basilone admirers, and anyone who recognizes the First Team's unmatched legacy.
The First Team — where Marine Corps legends are made.
