Official VAQ-139 Cougars Valentines Day Patch — Love in the Electronic Warfare Community
The Cougars jam enemy radars by day and celebrate Valentine's Day by night. Some things are worth fighting for.
Electronic Attack Squadron 139 (VAQ-139) — the 'Cougars' — is an EA-18G Growler squadron at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, currently assigned to Carrier Air Wing 17. This Valentine's Day patch is a morale patch that celebrates the lighter side of squadron life — the holiday traditions, inside jokes, and crew room culture that bond a squadron together through long deployments and demanding work-up cycles. Valentine's Day morale patches are a beloved tradition in naval aviation squadrons, combining the squadron's identity with holiday themes in creative and often irreverent ways. For the Cougars, who have been operational since July 1, 1983, and have deployed to every major conflict since Desert Shield, these morale patches represent the human side of electronic warfare — the relationships, the humor, and the camaraderie that make squadron life meaningful even during the longest deployments. This Valentine's Day patch is a piece of Cougar culture.
Perfect For: VAQ-139 Cougars squadron members and significant others, morale patch collectors, NAS Whidbey Island personnel, and anyone who appreciates the fun side of squadron culture.
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.
