Official VMR-1 Pedro Sundown Patch — USMC Search and Rescue CH-46 Sea Knight Commemorative Embroidered Patch
Sundown on the Phrog — this patch commemorates the end of an era for the CH-46 in the SAR mission at Cherry Point.
VMR-1 was the Marine Corps' station search and rescue (SAR) and base flight squadron at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. The squadron operated the CH-46 Sea Knight in the SAR role — standing alert 24/7 to rescue downed aviators and respond to emergencies across the Cherry Point operating area. The "Pedro" callsign is the universal SAR helicopter callsign used across military aviation, and VMR-1's Pedro crews maintained the sacred promise that if you went down, someone was coming to get you. This patch commemorates the sunset of the CH-46 in the Cherry Point SAR mission — the end of an era for the Phrog in one of its most important roles.
Perfect For:
VMR-1 personnel and alumni, Cherry Point SAR crews, CH-46 Sea Knight veterans, Marine Corps search and rescue community members, and Phrog sunset commemorative patch collectors.
Pedro. Sundown on the Phrog. Mission complete.
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.
