Official VAW-115 Liberty Bells Christmas Patch - Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 115 (VAW-115) Liberty Bells Holiday Season Embroidered Patch.
Liberty Bells ringing through the holidays — forward-deployed Navy airborne early warning pride stitched into a seasonal keepsake.
VAW-115, the Liberty Bells, was established on 20 April 1967 and holds the distinction of being the oldest and only original squadron in Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5). The squadron flies the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and serves as the tactical quarterback in the sky for carrier strike groups, delivering airborne command and control, battle management, and wide-area surveillance across the Pacific and beyond. The Liberty Bells joined CVW-5 in 1970 and made two combat deployments to the Gulf of Tonkin, later playing a critical command and control role during the evacuation of Saigon in 1975. Forward-deployed at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, the squadron has participated in operations ranging from Desert Storm to Operation Southern Watch and Operation Iraqi Freedom, logging combat sorties and multinational exercises across decades of continuous service. A Christmas patch edition ties the Liberty Bells name and imagery to the holiday season, marking the deployments, duty days, and underway periods that keep crews away from home during the holidays. That combination of unit identity and seasonal context gives this embroidered patch a personal weight that a standard squadron patch does not always carry.
Perfect For: VAW-115 Liberty Bells veterans and active-duty personnel, E-2 Hawkeye aircrew and maintainers, CVW-5 alumni, forward-deployed Navy families, holiday reunion gifts, cruise book displays, shadow boxes, patch panel collections, and anyone who wants a seasonal piece tied to a specific squadron's long history of Pacific and global operations. It is especially meaningful for sailors and families who spent a Christmas underway or at Atsugi, and for collectors who track Navy airborne early warning lineage from the Vietnam era through today's Advanced Hawkeye missions.
Liberty Bells heritage, stitched for the season and the sailors who kept the watch far from home.
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.
