Military veterans and the biker culture have been closely aligned for several decades. In fact, a lot of modern bikers are ex-military. So it's only fitting that we offer bikers the In Memory of Fallen Heroes large embroidered iron-on patch. It is a back patch designed to be mounted on a jacket or vest.
The patch contains all the elements you would expect from a piece of this nature: the seals of all five branches of the U.S. military – including the U.S. Marines and Coast Guard – along with an American flag, a bald eagle, and the POW-MIA logo. Lettering on the perimeter reminds viewers of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. A blue banner reminds us to never forget.
While the origins of the modern biker club date back to the early 20th century, the biker culture itself really started to come into its own during the brief lull between World Wars I and II. The biker culture enjoyed a significant boost in the postwar era followed by an unprecedented surge of enthusiasm during and after the Vietnam War.
Soldiers, returning home from Vietnam to face undeserved hostility, turned to the biker culture for acceptance. Veterans and bikers have been close ever since. Maybe that's the way it should be. Both the military and bikers value freedom above almost all else. Loyalty takes a very close second.
Whether you served or not, the In Memory of Fallen Heroes large, embroidered iron-on patch is a good choice for your vest or jacket. It is a circular patch that measures 12 x 12 inches. Its shape is perfectly suited to accommodate rockers on top and bottom. But if you want to display the patch alone, it certainly carries its own weight.
