Official HSC-8 Loosefoot 616 Memorial Patch and Sticker — Never Forgotten
Because we remember every crew member, every callsign, every sacrifice.
On August 31, 2021, Loosefoot 616 — an MH-60S Seahawk operating off the coast of San Diego — was lost along with five crew members from HSC-8, the Eightballers. LT Brad Foster, LT Paul Fridley, AWS1 James Buriak, HM1 Sarah Burns, and HM2 Bailey Tucker represented the very best of naval aviation and gave their lives in service to this country. This memorial patch and sticker were created in close coordination with HSC-8 and the Wingman Foundation, with all proceeds going directly to support the families of the fallen. Wearing this patch means you remember — and you refuse to let their sacrifice fade from memory.
Perfect For: HSC-8 Eightballers past and present, the naval helicopter community, families and friends of the Loosefoot 616 crew, and anyone in naval aviation who understands that not everyone comes home.
Five souls. One crew. Forever Eightballers.
