HMLA-169 Maj Kealey/Capt Satterfield Memorial Patch — Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169 Vipers Major Kealey and Captain Satterfield Memorial Embroidered Patch
In memory of fallen Vipers — this HMLA-169 memorial patch honors Major Kealey and Captain Satterfield, Marines who gave everything in service to their squadron and their country.
This memorial patch from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169 (HMLA-169), the "Vipers," honors the lives and service of Major Kealey and Captain Satterfield, aviators who were lost while serving with the squadron. Memorial patches are among the most sacred items in military aviation, created by squadrons to permanently honor the memory of fallen brothers and sisters and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.
HMLA-169 operates the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom, conducting some of the most dangerous missions in Marine aviation including close air support, armed escort, and armed reconnaissance. The attack helicopter community accepts extraordinary risk every time they fly, operating at low altitudes in close proximity to the enemy and the Marines they support. This memorial patch serves as a permanent reminder of the price that freedom demands and the courage of those who pay it.
The Wingman Foundation and the Marine aviation community support the families of fallen aviators, and memorial patches like this one help keep the memory of lost comrades alive within the squadron and across the broader military community.
Perfect For: HMLA-169 Vipers members and veterans, friends and family of Maj Kealey and Capt Satterfield, Marine attack helicopter community, Wingman Foundation supporters, and military memorial patch collectors.
HMLA-169 Vipers — Viper 47 — we remember, we honor, we fly for those who can't.
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.
