Official MALS-31 4th of July PVC Patch - Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31 (MALS-31) Stingers Independence Day Commemorative PVC Patch, MCAS Beaufort.
Stingers pride, red-white-and-blue spirit, and the quiet professionalism of Marine aviation logistics captured in one bold, field-ready piece.
Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 31, known as the Stingers, is the backbone of Marine Aircraft Group 31 at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, operating under the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. The squadron traces its lineage to February 1943, when it was activated as Headquarters Squadron 31 at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, and went on to support Pacific Theater operations including the Battle of Okinawa. Over the decades, the Stingers have kept Marine Corps aircraft airborne through every major conflict, providing logistics for the F4U Corsair, F-4 Phantom II, F/A-18 Hornet, and today the F-35B Lightning II. The unit earned the Donald E. Davis Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron of the Year Award in 1997 and 2002, along with Meritorious Unit Commendations, reflecting a standard of excellence that defines the Stingers identity. The 4th of July theme on this PVC patch connects that deep unit pride to American Independence Day, making it a natural piece for squadron events, morale gear, and patriotic displays. The durable PVC construction holds color and detail through field use, deployment rotations, and years on a patch panel or shadow box, giving the design lasting collectible value beyond the holiday that inspired it.
Perfect For: MALS-31 Stingers veterans and active-duty Marines, MAG-31 and 2nd MAW alumni, MCAS Beaufort community members, aviation logistics supporters, Independence Day unit events, morale collections, challenge coin and patch boards, shadow boxes, reunion gifts, and anyone who wants a patriotic piece tied to the real work of keeping Marine Corps aircraft mission-ready. It also suits family members and supporters who understand that the maintainers, supply specialists, and ordnance crews behind the flight line are as essential to the mission as the pilots who fly.
Stingers heritage, American pride, and the logistics backbone of Marine aviation — all in one patch.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
