Officially Licensed USMC VMO-1 "Can Do" Squadron Patch — Marine Observation Squadron 1 Embroidered Patch (1966 Remake)
"Can Do" — VMO-1's motto and the spirit of Marine observation aviation.
VMO-1 was a Marine observation squadron that provided visual reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and forward air control for Marine ground forces. This patch is a faithful remake of the 1966 design, capturing the VMO-1 identity during the Vietnam War era when Marine observation squadrons flew OV-10A Broncos and UH-1E Hueys over the jungles and rice paddies of South Vietnam. VMO-1's observers and forward air controllers flew low and slow over enemy territory, directing artillery fire and close air support strikes onto enemy positions while exposed to intense ground fire.
Perfect For:
VMO-1 "Can Do" veterans, Marine observation squadron aviators, Vietnam-era OV-10 Bronco and UH-1E crews, FAC(A) heritage collectors, and USMC 1966 vintage patch enthusiasts.
Can Do. VMO-1. Eyes over the battlefield.
