Attention all Marines and Marine Corps patch enthusiasts! This is a FINE example of a unit logo patch for 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit of Fleet Marine Forces, Atlantic. These can\'t be found just anywhere! Not, of course, allowed on the uniform, but worn on all manner of off-duty civilian caps and clothing as novelty items.

Twenty-sixth MEU is a Marine Air Ground Task Force based on the east coast. In his book on the subject, Tom Clancy refers to the Marine Expeditionary Units as the “crown jewels” of the Fleet Marine Forces! Built around a Battalion Landing Team, with aviation and support components, these ship-based Marines often provide the “tip of the spear” of any military action the Commander in Chief may direct. The MEUs receive intensive training prior to deployment to earn the designation Special Operations Capable!

Originally known as 36th Marine Amphibious Unit, in the early 70s, they were redesignated 26th MAU in 1982, and \"Expeditionary\" in 1988. They were the first of the MAUs to undergo SOC training in the 1980s. In 1991, 26th MEU provided a \"Show of Force\" in the Mediterranean during Desert Storm, and evacuated US Embassy personnel from Liberia in Operation Sharp Edge! In later years they\'ve deployed from Turkey all the way to Kosovo, providing security, stabilization and humanitarian assistance when needed.

Recent Decades: In 2001-2002, the 26th MEU was among the first units deployed to Afghanistan for service in Operation Enduring Freedom! They participated in the seizure of Camp Rhino and Kandahar Airport. In 2003 they made history by deploying over 1,100 miles in KC-130 aircraft for service in Operation Iraqi Freedom! 26th MEU also supported Iraq operations on subsequent deployments in 2005 & 2008!

This is a BRAND NEW and UNUSED patch. It is NOT a war relic but a recent manufacture item! Embroidered on blue twill with cut (non-merrowed) edge and plastic heat-sealed backing (as shown in 2nd photo.) Colors are clean and bright. See ruler in photo for size comparison.

Flat fee for shipping is $3.00. Semper Fi!

No International Shipping for This Item Contacting Me:

Click \"Ask a question\" link above to make initial contact, and I will respond in kind using the “ Messaging” forum. Please monitor your e-mail and/or \"Messages\" tab for my response. I\'ll share my e-mail address in the response, and you are welcome to communicate with me via e-mail at that point if you wish.

(Your e-mail address will only be used for response to questions or transactions. I have no interest in sending unsolicited advertising, and will not share your contact info with anyone.)

I try to respond within 24 hours, but hope you understand I do have a life outside , and may not always be so prompt. And please take into account weekends and traditional US holidays.

Messages communicating info about a listed item are appreciated ..... but may not get response quite as fast as a message that requires immediate answer. I do have to prioritize every now and then. ;-)

Packaging & Reliability:

My flat-fee shipping structure covers cost of packaging and postage, and is a best-guess estimate for size and weight of items. It\'s not an exact science. (The flat fee is still significantly less than my actual cost for postage.) Items ship in zip-closure poly bags to protect from moisture. Items ship as trackable USPS Ground Advantage parcels within the US.

In my experience, the track record of US Postal Service delivery within the US is practically 100% reliable. I may at my discretion choose insurance for shipments of a certain value. But the best insurance you can have is to make sure you provide a current and correct postal delivery address, and to check your mailbox regularly.

Items ship within 1 business day of receiving payment. Check my response for satisfied customer testimonials!

response:

I always post response after a completed transaction and always appreciate response from satisfied buyers. Normally takes me only a day or two, but sometimes I get behind. Please be patient. Also, if you are dissatisfied in any way, please contact me before posting negative. Maybe there\'s a misunderstanding, or something we can work out.

Return Policy:

\"No Returns Accepted\" is my designated policy, unless an item has a defect or was misrepresented. I go to great lengths to describe each item honestly and accurately, and there’s a ruler in each photo for size comparison. I ask that you be sure of your decision before buying. Please read the description entirely and carefully examine the photo. Ask questions prior to offerding. I try to respond to e-mail inquiries within 24 hours. Please resolve any questions or doubts prior to purchasing.

My Expectations: Buyer’s on-file E-mail address is valid, and checked regularly.

Buyer\'s confirmed ship-to address is correct and current for postal delivery.
Payment (or communication indicating buyer’s intentions) within three (3) business days is appreciated. If no response, a reminder invoice is sent. If I don\'t hear from a buyer — in any form — after more than ten (10) business days, a case may eventually be filed with ’s Resolution Center to recover the Final Value Fee (’s commission) on a sale not completed. In the case of an sale, this usually results in the item being re-listed. :-(

Bottom line:

Please contact me if there are circumstances in which you cannot comply with above expectations.
