Redesignated as Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26 in October 1988, the Patriots consolidated all intermediate-level maintenance, supply support, and calibration responsibilities for every squadron under Marine Aircraft Group 26 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at MCAS New River. The unit's operational record spans the Cuban Missile Crisis, Operation Sharp Edge in Liberia, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, earning the MALS of the Year award for the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing four times and the Commanding General's Aviation Support Efficiency Trophy twice. The Halloween edition gives that deep logistics heritage a seasonal identity that works on a patch panel, a flight bag, a locker, or a shadow box display without losing the unit character that makes MALS-26 pieces worth collecting. PVC construction keeps the design sharp and field-ready, holding color and detail through the kind of daily wear that maintenance and supply Marines put on their gear. A Halloween variant also marks a specific year and season, giving it the limited-run quality that separates a collectible from a standard issue insignia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: MALS-26 Patriots veterans and active-duty members, MAG-26 and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing alumni, Marine aviation maintainers and supply Marines, Halloween unit morale gear collections, seasonal patch panel displays, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, deployment keepsakes, and anyone building a unit-history collection around Marine aviation logistics heritage at MCAS New River. It also makes a strong gift for families and supporters who want a piece that captures both the Patriots identity and the lighter morale culture that keeps hard-working logistics squadrons connected across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatriots heritage, seasonal spirit, and the logistics pride that keeps every aircraft on the flightline ready to fly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50508616728685,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/20260920-010840.jpg?v=1790290453","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-mal-26-patriots-halloween-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
