USMC 25th Marine Regiment 4th MARDIV Patch — Embroidered Patch
The 25th Marines — From Iwo Jima to the Reserve Force
The 25th Marine Regiment carries the legacy of the 4th Marine Division's World War II combat record into the modern reserve force, connecting today's citizen Marines to the warriors who fought across the Pacific.
The 25th Marines fought as part of the 4th Marine Division at Roi-Namur, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima during World War II. At Iwo Jima, the regiment landed on the right flank of the division's assault and immediately came under devastating Japanese fire, facing some of the heaviest resistance on the island's eastern beaches. The regiment continued as a reserve unit after the war, with its battalions spread across the northeastern United States. Reserve Marines of the 25th have deployed to Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan, demonstrating that the reserve component maintains the same fighting capability that won Presidential Unit Citations in the Pacific.
Perfect For:
Reserve Marines who served with 25th Marines, 4th MARDIV veterans, Iwo Jima historians, northeastern U.S.-based reserve Marines, and anyone who carries the dual legacy of citizen and warrior.
Reserve strength, active duty legacy — the 25th Marines.
