History of the Landing Support Company and The Red Patch.

The Red Patch carries great significance within the Marine Corps history. During the World War ll Island-Hopping campaign, it was difficult to distinguish the combat troops who were landing on the beach and moving inland on the attack. This generated much confusion during the initial hours of an amphibious assault. Following the bloody Battle of Tarawa in 1943, it was decided that the support Marines working on the beach would have red patches sewn on their uniforms. This enabled them to stand out from the combat troops, return order to the landing beach, and maintain a fluid throughput of logistical support to the combat units fighting inland. 

                                                         

The current day Marines of the Landing Support Company have 

maintained the distinction of being the only Marines allowed to wear the distinctive markings of the red patch. This distinction has become a part of the rich history, tradition, and pride of the beloved “Red Patchers”.  

Student Veterans Association - Puerto Rico - History is made!

It was a great day in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico for the military veteran community.  For the first time ever we witnessed an Installation Ceremony for a student veteran association on the island.  There were many community partners in attendance, friends, and veterans alike, came to support the PUPR Chapter in leading the charge for veteran students. 

This association will provide a place for veterans to communicate about classes, and build a team of people as a support network.  This will help them ensure success during their time as a student.  Groups like this are important because they represent veterans in the civilian community in a positive light.  They do this by giving veterans a chance to communicate with civilians and build long-lasting relationships.  We encourage all schools in Puerto Rico to follow the lead and organize a student veterans association on their campuses too.

As the Chapter Captain of Team Red, White and Blue, Puerto Rico Chapter, I am proud to be a part of this historic moment.  More importantly, as a veteran, I am proud to be able to pass along my knowledge and experience to help my fellow veterans make this idea a reality.  When I was attending The Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood, CA I was the chapter President for the Student Veterans of America (SVA) and that former experience has proven to be very useful in our current endeavours.  All veterans and the civilians that support us, must take care of our own community.  If you have a skill or talent that can help someone in our community please feel free to offer your services.  Let’s BUILD!

Very Respectfully,
