If you served in the Marines, then you will want to let the world know the values that they taught you while you were serving our country. A motto of many Marines can be found on this simple 'Improvise, Adapt, Overcome' US Marines Patch. This is a very simple way of stating that being a United States Marine is about much more than just fighting. It is about finding ways to overcome no matter the obstacles. If you are not able to think outside of the box and find new ways to adapt, then you won't be able to overcome the situation as easily. This also involves a fair amount of improvising, as you will most likely only be able to use the elements surrounding you.
Being a Marine teaches you these values, and these are the qualities that help men and women to survive not only in battle but also in life. By wearing this US Marines Patch, you are showing everyone that the Marine Corps is much more than fighting.
The patch itself is a relatively simple rectangular one measuring 4 by 1.75 inches. It is a black iron on twill patch with words 'Improvise, Adapt, Overcome' standing out in bright white lettering on the left side of the patch. On the right side of the patch is the emblem of the US Marines that shows an eagle standing on top of the glob with an anchor behind it. The eagle and anchor are done with yellow thread, while the globe has black and white stripes where the water is and the continents are also done in yellow, making them contrast nicely. The patch can easily be sewn or ironed onto a number of clothing items.
