Okay well here are some of the VF84 Jolly Rogers squadron patches. I am extremely bias since I just love the Jolly Rogers VF-84 and VF-103 squadrons. Just an F-14 fanatic in general.
The patch has to have some meaning as it did for example with the Jolly Rogers, it is said that the "bones are supposedly the remains of Ensign Jack Ernie of VF-17. Ernie was allegedly killed during the Okinawa invasion in World War II, earning a posthumous Navy Cross. As his flaming aircraft spiraled towards earth, he made one last radio transmission in which he asked "Remember me with the Jolly Rogers." According to the story, Ernie's family later presented the squadron with the set of skull and crossbones and asked the squadron to fulfill Ernie's last wish. However no Jack Ernie appears on squadron rosters for VF-17, VF-61, or VF-84. VF-17 did not serve in the Okinawa campaign, and the first VF-84 of 1944-45, formed around VF-17 veterans, had no one by that name on its roster. Nor is anyone named Ernie on the Navy's list of Navy Cross recipients, for example. None of this has stopped the "Jolly Rogers", regardless of year or squadron number, from embracing this tale."
So that should be taken into consideration, what are we commemorating here. I'm not a fan for betas since i like more of the Macross stuff, but we have to find a healthy balance.
