About Popular Patch

While serving in the Navy, Don McGrogan began collecting military patches. At that time, it was impossible to find patches for most units, so he began having patches made. After serving 26 years in the Navy and retiring a Senior Chief E8, Don McGrogan's love for collecting and selling patches turned into a business.

Now, three generations later and his passion for military patches continues. You might say patches are in our blood. As we continue to be the worlds largest provider of commemorative military emblems we have embarked on a new venture. We are no longer just a distributor of commemorative military patches, we are the maker!

Join us on our journey to becoming the largest "Made In USA" provider of military patches and more.
