USMC 21st Marines Patch — Embroidered Patch
Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima
The 21st Marine Regiment fought across three of the Pacific War's most significant campaigns, earning a combat record that stands among the finest in Marine Corps history. This patch represents the Marines who fought through jungle and volcanic ash to help win the war in the Pacific.
The 21st Marines served as one of the infantry regiments of the 3rd Marine Division during World War II. The regiment saw action at Bougainville in November 1943, where Marines fought through dense tropical jungle against entrenched Japanese defenders. At Guam in July 1944, the 21st Marines made amphibious landings to recapture the island from Japanese occupation. The regiment's most intense combat came at Iwo Jima in February 1945, where the 3rd Marine Division fought through the center of the island's heavily fortified defenses. The 21st Marines endured savage close-quarters combat against an enemy dug into an elaborate system of tunnels, bunkers, and interconnected caves. Their sacrifice helped secure the island that would serve as a vital emergency airfield for B-29 bombers returning from raids on Japan.
Perfect For:
WWII veterans and families connected to the 21st Marines, 3rd MARDIV personnel, Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo Jima historians, Pacific Theater patch collectors, and anyone who honors the island warriors of the Pacific War.
Three islands, three victories — the 21st Marines delivered.
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.
