Description

Operation Desert Storm Victory Patch — Embroidered Patch

Hundred-Hour War, Lifetime of Pride

Operation Desert Storm was swift, decisive, and overwhelming. This victory patch commemorates the coalition forces who liberated Kuwait in February 1991 — a campaign that demonstrated American military power at its most effective and restored confidence in the armed forces a generation after Vietnam.

Operation Desert Storm began on January 17, 1991, with a massive air campaign that degraded Iraqi military capabilities over 38 days. The ground assault commenced on February 24 and achieved its objectives in just 100 hours, liberating Kuwait and destroying much of Iraq’s Republican Guard. Marine forces played a critical role, with the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions breaching the extensive Iraqi minefields and defensive positions along the Kuwait border. Marine aviation provided devastating close air support, while Marine amphibious forces conducted a feint that pinned Iraqi divisions along the coast. The victory was a testament to superior training, technology, leadership, and the fighting spirit of the American service member.

Perfect For:
Desert Storm veterans, Gulf War commemorators, 1991 liberation of Kuwait participants, military victory collectors, Marine Gulf War veterans, and coalition forces supporters
