Pedro VMR-1 MCAS Cherry Point SAR — Embroidered Patch
Pedro — Cherry Point Search and Rescue
The call sign “Pedro” means one thing in aviation: search and rescue is on the way. This patch represents the SAR detachment at MCAS Cherry Point, the crews who stand ready 24/7 to respond when Marines are in trouble.
VMR-1, the Marine Transport Squadron at MCAS Cherry Point, has historically provided search and rescue capability for the air station and surrounding area. The “Pedro” callsign is universally recognized across military aviation as the designation for SAR helicopters — the aircraft and crews that launch when someone is down, whether it’s a downed pilot, a sailor overboard, or a civilian in distress. The SAR crews at Cherry Point maintained a constant alert posture, ready to launch at a moment’s notice to save lives.
Perfect For:
Cherry Point SAR crew veterans, VMR-1 personnel, Marine aviation search and rescue professionals, Pedro callsign heritage collectors, and military SAR enthusiasts.
