Pop-a-Smoke War On Terror Patch — Marine Helicopter Association Global War On Terror Embroidered Patch
Pop-A-Smoke War On Terror — honoring Marine rotary-wing veterans of the Global War on Terror.
This Pop-A-Smoke patch honors all Marine helicopter and tiltrotor aircrew who served during the Global War on Terror — from the opening strikes of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001 through sustained operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and deployments across CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and beyond. The GWOT era saw the Marine rotary-wing community transition from legacy aircraft to new platforms, with the MV-22 Osprey joining the CH-53E, UH-1Y Venom, and AH-1Z Viper in combat. Marine rotary-wing crews flew tens of thousands of combat hours across two decades of continuous operations.
Perfect For:
GWOT Marine helicopter and tiltrotor veterans, Pop-A-Smoke association members, OEF and OIF rotary-wing community, and Global War on Terror aviation patch collectors.
Pop-A-Smoke. War On Terror. Two decades.
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.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
