Product Description

HMLA-USA Skids Patch — Marine Skid Kids Across America

HMLA-USA represents the Marine skid helicopter community across the entire country — Cobras and Hueys, coast to coast.

This embroidered patch represents the HMLA (Marine Light Attack Helicopter) community across the United States, celebrating the skid helicopter culture of AH-1 Cobras and UH-1 Hueys. The "Skid Kids" are the Marines who fly and maintain the Marine Corps' skid-equipped helicopters — named because these aircraft land on skids rather than wheels. HMLA-USA unites every Marine light attack helicopter squadron under one identity, from Camp Pendleton to Camp Lejeune, celebrating the shared culture of the skid community.

Perfect For: HMLA Marines across all squadrons, AH-1 Cobra and UH-1 Huey crews, skid helicopter community members, and USMC Skid Kids patch collectors.

HMLA-USA — Skid Kids from coast to coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
