The squadron traces its roots to the establishment of MCAS New River in 1943, when the airfield was stood up to support training and operations for nearby Camp Lejeune during World War II. Since those early days, H\u0026amp;HS has provided the full range of station support that keeps aviation units ready to fly and fight, including personnel administration, supply, motor transport, airfield operations, public affairs, and legal services. MCAS New River grew from a wartime auxiliary airfield into a major installation, earning full air station designation in 1968 and becoming home to Marine Aircraft Group 26, Marine Aircraft Group 29, and the East Coast fleet of MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. A 75th anniversary patch marks that long arc of institutional service, connecting the Marines who built the station's early identity with the generations who have sustained it through every deployment, exercise, and crisis response since. The embroidered format gives the commemorative design the durability and detail that anniversary pieces deserve, whether displayed in a shadow box, mounted on a collection board, or kept as a personal keepsake from a meaningful tour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: H\u0026amp;HS New River veterans and alumni, MCAS New River station personnel, Marine aviation supporters, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing collectors, MAG-26 and MAG-29 community members, anniversary reunion attendees, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch board displays, and anyone who served at or alongside New River and wants a commemorative piece that honors the station's founding mission and the people who have kept it running for more than seven decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeventy-five years of station service, stitched into one embroidered keepsake worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45559245013101,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4Patch_45_45e3bbd4-09d9-46d4-80be-be385bb4a285.png?v=1786051929","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-h-hs-new-river-75th-anniversary-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
