Official HMH-772(-) Hustlers 4th of July 250th Anniversary PVC Patch - Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 772 (HMH-772), CH-53E Super Stallion Reserve Heavy-Lift Unit, Limited-Edition Semiquincentennial Commemorative PVC Patch.
Hustlers pride, heavy-lift heritage, and American independence history locked together in one commemorative piece built for the board, the box, and the collection.
HMH-772, known as the Hustlers, is a United States Marine Corps Reserve heavy helicopter squadron operating the CH-53E Super Stallion out of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, under Marine Aircraft Group 49 and the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron traces its lineage to April 1958, when it was first activated at the Marine Air Reserve Training Command at Naval Air Station Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Over more than six decades, the Hustlers have built a record that stands apart from most reserve units. They were the first reserve squadron to earn the special operations capable designator and the first unit in the Marine Corps to airlift the M777A2 lightweight howitzer in combat. Deployments in support of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom mark a combat record that reflects the seamless integration between reserve and active-duty forces that defines the HMH-772 mission. This patch ties that deep unit history to July 4, 2026, when the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, making it a dual-layer collectible that connects Marine Corps Reserve heavy-lift identity with a once-in-a-generation national milestone.
Perfect For: HMH-772 veterans and current Hustlers aircrew, CH-53E Super Stallion maintainers and crew chiefs, Marine Corps Reserve collectors, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing alumni, MAG-49 supporters, shadow box and display panel builders, reunion and homecoming gifts, America 250 commemorative collections, and anyone who wants a single patch that bridges a proud squadron story with the nation's semiquincentennial celebration. It also suits families, supporters, and military history enthusiasts looking for a meaningful keepsake tied to both Marine heavy-lift heritage and the landmark 250th anniversary of American independence.
Hustlers heritage, 250 years of American independence, and one patch that carries both stories forward.
