The Red Lions' lineage stretches back to June 2, 1952, when the squadron was activated as HMR-363 at MCAS Santa Ana, California. The squadron participated in Operation Desert Rock — the first atomic test to use ground troops — flew combat operations in Vietnam as HMM-363, was the first unit to receive the CH-53D in October 1972, and deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After deactivation in 2012, the Red Lions were reactivated on the West Coast as an MV-22B Osprey squadron and later relocated to Hawaii. This \"Saddurdays\" morale patch captures the Red Lions' legendary squadron culture — the kind of irreverent, off-duty camaraderie that defines the tiltrotor community after a long week on the flight line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: VMM-363 Red Lions active-duty members and veterans, MV-22B Osprey crews, MAG-24 and 1st MAW personnel, MCB Hawaii Marines, morale patch collectors, and anyone who appreciates Marine squadron humor culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRed Lions — Saddurdays approved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches by USMCinsignia.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44815537733741,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-03-08at19.26.18_3.jpg?v=1773505822","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-vmm-363-red-lions-saddurdays-patch","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
