For a little history my daughter works at Modern Aviation in Wilmington. They have the military contract for fueling and stuff so lots of Navy and Marine pilots come in for hot fuel and cold. Most of the pilots she said are very friendly and she has gotten to see a lot of planes and helicopters. Right before Christmas one of them asked her if she wanted a shoulder patch and since she knows being a veteran I love and respect anything military so she accepted. She gave me two patches at Christmas and said if I was interested she would get more. After talking with the pilots most of them carry extras to give out and a couple have pulled them off their shoulder and gave them to her to give to her dad.
All that to ask a question. I had a friend that was killed in Afganistan in 2014. MSGT Aaron Torrian who was a Marine Raider. As chance would have it one of the patches she got was the original raider patch that many of the raiders wear even though unauthorized. This got me to thinking I would love to get a patch for Marine Raider 2nd battalion which I can find pictures of but not a place to buy it. I have gotten a velcro board for all patches I'm collecting and would love to get this one for obvious reasons. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be greatful. I'm looking for the colored one but subdued would be better than nothing.
