Officially Licensed USMC VMO-2 Grasshopper Squadron Patch — Marine Observation Squadron 2 WWII/Korea Legacy Embroidered Patch
The Grasshopper — VMO-2's earliest identity from the light liaison aircraft era.
VMO-2's "Grasshopper" patch hearkens back to the squadron's origins in World War II and Korea, when Marine observation squadrons flew small, light liaison aircraft — nicknamed "Grasshoppers" for their ability to land and take off from tiny, unprepared strips. These diminutive aircraft were the original eyes of the Marine division, flying low and slow over enemy lines to direct artillery fire and report troop movements. The Grasshopper pilots were among the bravest in Marine aviation, flying unarmed or lightly armed aircraft into hostile airspace at vulnerable speeds.
Perfect For:
VMO-2 veterans, WWII and Korean War Marine observation aviators, Grasshopper liaison aircraft enthusiasts, early Marine aviation heritage collectors, and USMC legacy squadron patch enthusiasts.
Grasshopper. VMO-2. Low and slow since day one.
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.
