Description

Dominican Republic Pop-A-Smoke Patch — Marine Helicopter Association Dominican Republic Operations Embroidered Patch

Pop-A-Smoke Dominican Republic — honoring Marine rotary-wing veterans of Dominican Republic operations.

This Pop-A-Smoke patch honors Marine helicopter aircrew who served during operations in the Dominican Republic. In 1965, the United States intervened in the Dominican Republic during a civil war, and Marine helicopter units provided critical airlift, evacuation, and support during the operation. Marine rotary-wing crews operated in a chaotic urban environment, evacuating American citizens and supporting ground forces. The Dominican Republic operation was one of the Cold War-era interventions that tested Marine helicopter capabilities in real-world scenarios.

Perfect For:
Dominican Republic operation Marine helicopter veterans, Pop-A-Smoke association members, 1965 intervention historians, Cold War-era Marine operations veterans, and specialty operations patch collectors.

Pop-A-Smoke. Dominican Republic.
