Pedro VMR-1 MCAS Cherry Point SAR — Embroidered Patch
Pedro — Cherry Point Search and Rescue
The call sign "Pedro" means one thing in aviation: search and rescue is on the way. This patch represents the SAR detachment at MCAS Cherry Point, the crews who stand ready 24/7 to respond when Marines are in trouble.
VMR-1, the Marine Transport Squadron at MCAS Cherry Point, has historically provided search and rescue capability for the air station and surrounding area. The "Pedro" callsign is universally recognized across military aviation as the designation for SAR helicopters — the aircraft and crews that launch when someone is down, whether it's a downed pilot, a sailor overboard, or a civilian in distress. The SAR crews at Cherry Point maintained a constant alert posture, ready to launch at a moment's notice to save lives.
Perfect For:
Cherry Point SAR crew veterans, VMR-1 personnel, Marine aviation search and rescue professionals, Pedro callsign heritage collectors, and military SAR enthusiasts.
Pedro — That Others May Live.
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.
