This identity design was created in adobe illustrator to represent the official unit insignia for 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, Feb. 12, 2025. The flying diamond insignia was first recognized during World War II as a shoulder patch. The patch was later mandated by the Commandant of the Marine Corps to represent all Marine Aircraft Wings.

Commander David A. Shirk address a crowd during a 9/11 Memorial Service at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Sept. 11, 2015. Marines gather every September 11 to honor the fallen men and women of this iconic mark on American history. Many remember what it was like to turn on the news and witness ash and debris cascade over New York City’s streets as bystanders scattered to safety. Marines endure vigorous and precise training to ensure they are proficient and always ready to protect their nation’s safety. Shirk is the command Chaplin for the air station.
