Summary

Description
English: NROL-71 VAFB DELTA IV-H Serving Those Who Serve

The mission patch #NROL71 depicts an eagle as the symbol of both freedom and the nation, which provides a fitting mascot to represent NRO's support to our nation's warfighter. The initials "JLC" on the foreground dog-tag are in honor of Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain, a Union commander who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism at the battle of Gettysburg, July 2, 1863, when he held the Union Army's southern flank at Little Round Top against a repeated assault from Confederate forces. Col. Chamberlain's heroism, leadership, and commitment to 'service before self' exemplify the ethos of the American service member.

The patch also includes the NRO mission number, NROL-71, along with Delta IV Heavy and Vandenberg AFB to indicate both the launch vehicle and location.

The motto "Serving Those Who Serve" rounds out the mission logo and represents NRO's commitment to delivering the mission on time to the warfighter and intelligence community.
