In memory of Jonathan Currier — this VMM-166 REIN memorial patch honors a fallen Marine, ensuring his sacrifice is remembered by every member of the squadron.
This memorial patch from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 166 (VMM-166) honors the memory of Jonathan Currier, a Marine who gave his life while serving with the squadron during a 13th MEU deployment. Memorial patches are among the most solemn and meaningful items in military aviation, created to permanently honor fallen comrades and to ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten by the squadrons they served.
VMM-166 operates the MV-22B Osprey and deploys as a reinforced (REIN) composite squadron as the aviation combat element of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit. MEU deployments carry inherent risk, with Marines conducting operations ranging from amphibious assault training to real-world crisis response. When a Marine is lost during these operations, the squadron creates memorial patches that serve as a permanent tribute to their service and sacrifice.
Memorial patches carry enormous emotional significance within the military community, serving as a tangible reminder of the human cost of service and the bonds forged between Marines who serve together.
Perfect For: VMM-166 members and veterans, friends and family of Jonathan Currier, 13th MEU personnel, Marine tiltrotor community, and military memorial patch collectors.
