About Brev. Brig. Gen. Archibald Henderson, Commandant, USMC Archibald Henderson (January 21, 1783 – January 6, 1859) was the longest-serving Commandant of the Marine Corps, serving from 1820 to 1859. His name is learned by all Marines at recruit training to be known as the Grand old man of the Marine Corps, serving in the United States Marine Corps for 53 years. Born in Colchester, Fairfax County, Virginia to successful merchant Alexander Henderson, Archibald Henderson was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps on 4 June 1806 and served aboard USS Constitution during her famous victories in the War of 1812. He participated in several shipboard engagements and was decorated for bravery. He was brevetted a major in 1814. From 16 September 1818 to 2 March 1819, Henderson was the acting Commandant. On 17 October 1820, at the age of 37, Lt.Col. Henderson was appointed as the Commandant of the Marine Corps. He served in this position for a little over 38 years — the longest of any officer to hold that position. Henderson is credited with thwarting attempts by President Andrew Jackson to combine the Marine Corps with the Army in 1829. Instead, Congress passed the Act for the Better Organization of the Marine Corps in 1834, ensuring the Marines would remain part of the United States Department of the Navy. He was promoted to colonel the same year. He went into the field as Commandant during the Indian campaigns in Florida and Georgia during 1836 and 1837, and was promoted brevet brigadier general in 1843 for his actions during these campaigns. Tradition holds that he pinned a note to his door that read, Gone to Florida to fight the Indians. Will be back when the war is over. Marines also fought during the Mexican-American War during his tenure as Commandant. The sword presented to Henderson upon completion of the action was inscribed with the words, From the Halls of Montezuma, to the Shores of Tripoli giving the opening words to the Marines hymn. General Henderson died suddenly on 6 January 1859. He is buried in the Congressional Cemetery.[According to Marine lore, the Colonel Commandant had attempted to will his home — actually government-provided quarters in which he had lived for 38 years — to his heirs, having forgotten that they were government owned. USS Henderson (AP-1), and Henderson Hall Barracks were named for him.

It took all three to push PatchOps into a reality we can all enjoy. When I was first introduced to my buddy Adam who is an Army Grunt, as a Marine 0331 myself, I felt like we were in a scene straight out of the movie ‘Step Brothers’ and realized all grunts are created equal. It was at that time that I first discovered Morale Patches- and the small slice of enjoyment they can bring. While I was active duty, the Marine Corps had nothing like these, other than a saying of “The beatings will continue until morale improves” Well, adapting and overcoming is life for this Jarhead – and with a coordinated effort of my two boys, my Army Infantry brotha Adam, and my brother from another mother- David, I am proud to provide Infantry inspired, High Quality, PVC Morale Patches for all the tired, filthy, thirsty, hungry, footsore, ripped-trouser, camouflage-painted, lean, mean, sons of b*itches who have kept the wolf away from the door for over two hundred forty years. From USMC MOS Patches to ideas from our twisted minds or using our art team to draw up your very own custom design- our customer service and quality of work will always be something that shows and can be displayed with pride. I look forward to continuing to serve all Police, Military, 2A Advocates, and other hard-charging PATRIOTS that love this country as much as we do. Semper Fidelis
