Officially Licensed USMC Air Medal Ribbon with Number Patch — United States Marine Corps Air Medal Ribbon with Strike/Flight Numeral Embroidered Patch
Air Medal — recognizing meritorious aerial achievement.
This Air Medal ribbon patch with numeral represents one of the most significant decorations awarded to combat aircrew and aviation personnel. The Air Medal is awarded for meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight, and the numeral indicates the number of Strike/Flight awards received — each representing additional instances of distinguished aerial service.
The Air Medal was established during World War II to recognize the growing importance of aerial warfare and the bravery of military aviators and aircrew. For Marine Corps aviators and combat aircrew, the Air Medal recognizes everything from combat missions over hostile territory to distinguished non-combat aerial achievement that contributes to the success of military operations. The numeral device on this patch indicates multiple awards, meaning the wearer has been recognized for exceptional aerial service on more than one occasion. Each additional numeral represents another chapter of aerial achievement — whether combat sorties, medevac missions, or sustained operational excellence in the air. This ribbon patch allows veterans and active-duty Marines to display their Air Medal recognition.
This patch displays the Air Medal ribbon with numeral.
Perfect For: Air Medal recipients, Marine combat aircrew, military decoration collectors, and aviation medal ribbon patch enthusiasts.
Meritorious aerial achievement — Air Medal.
