Officially Licensed USMC VMA-121 WWII Patch — Marine Attack Squadron 121 World War II Era Embroidered Patch
VMA-121 in World War II — when the Green Knights first earned their combat reputation.
VMA-121's World War II lineage connects to VMF-121, one of the most distinguished Marine fighter squadrons of the Pacific War. VMF-121 flew F4F Wildcats from Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, where Captain Joe Foss shot down 26 Japanese aircraft to become the top Marine ace of the war and receive the Medal of Honor. The squadron's WWII service established the fighting reputation that the Green Knights would carry through Korea, Vietnam, and into the modern era.
Perfect For:
VMA-121 WWII veterans and descendants, VMF-121 Guadalcanal historians, Joe Foss Medal of Honor legacy enthusiasts, F4F Wildcat collectors, and USMC World War II squadron patch collectors.
