Fallen SEALs/160th SOAR patch

[zach0315]

Sorry for the repost .I posted this in the Photo forum.

I lost good friend in June of 2005 in Afghanistan. He was one of the 11 SEALs killed during Operation Red Wing. His name was PO1C Jeff Taylor (SEAL). He was a corpsman and was on the helo that was shot down coming to the aid of LT Murphy and his men. I grew up with Jeff and his step-brother is my best friend.I wear his bracelet everyday to remember him. I saw this patch (linked below) and I wanted to get a couple for myself and for his family and friends back home in West Virginia. I have looked all over the net and have contacted several collectors with no luck. If anyone out there knows where to get these please let me know.

Thanks.

you can contact camotech, idk if they made the patch but i wouldnt be suprised, they do a lot of custom patches for military units.

I think the patches were made for the memorial service, if all else fails you can try to contact the Naval Special Warfare Command..

Possibly but doubtfull.

Geedunk like this is usually a civilian thing, to bring in the bling.

Maybe it isn't but usually someone will make a "memorial" patch, knife, etc.. and tell you that a portion of the proceeds will go to some NSW cause. The reality is that someone is making a buck off the memory of a fallen warrior.


In any case, sometimes it's better not to look to far into things and simply purchase something like this for your own reasons.


I didn't know Taylor, but I knew Lucas. He was good people, humble and friendly.
