Limit ONE named patch per person per day. Limit your posts to Police, Fire, EMS, DPS Patches. If you have USCG Patches and others, start a new thread. If you don't have a photo of the patch to post, I may have a scan to include. My incomplete list of lighthouse patches includes about 90 counties, cities, towns and townships. Some patches feature a specific lighthouse, others more of a stylized one. Amelia Island is featured on the patch for the Fernandina Beach FL Police Department:

Old Field, NY Where the Constable enjoys the benefit of living in the lighthouse. (OK, I cheated and posted two in one day. But the last one was very early and I wanted this thread to move along.)

I was psychic, Bob. I knew you were going to post it. And yes, I did meet the Constable on that wonderful tour of Long Island lights you took me on way back when.

Biloxi MS is rightfully proud of the lighthouse that sits in the median.

Lena Wisconsin lies inland aways from the North Shore of Green Bay. Perhaps another Forumite will be able to tell us if this is a 'real' lighthouse or not.

This is my favorite patch. Best image of a real lighthouse. This is from Jupiter Inlet Colony FL, a community of 200 homes. You can imagine just how small the Police Department must be.

Freeport and Cape May look awful similar? Do you suppose the Police Chief transferred? Cape Florida, Key Biscayne, Florida

Originally posted by rscroope: Freeport and Cape May look awful similar? Do you suppose the Police Chief transferred? I think it may be due to the same company producing the patch. Seems like the patch companies often also do the design. Of course, it could be as you suggest, Bob...

Continuing the theme of patches that have TWO lighthouses on them... San Diego CA appears to be using neither of it's well known lighthouses: Point Loma or New Point Loma.

Can't believe no one has brought up Cape Hatteras. Not a patch, but I would have to believe the patch would be a copy of what they had on the sign out front: Dave

Now John, you're pulling tabloid news byte type reporting - full statement: Not a patch, but I would have to believe the patch would be a copy of what they had on the sign out front As I have noticed, the "rules" were pitched early on in the thread . . . . . Still can't believe one of you patch collectors doesn't have a patch from the home town of what many would believe is the best know lighthouse in the US. Call me a rule breaking agitator (won't be the first time I have been called that, or worse)

I couldn't find a patch for the "Hatteras Island Rescue Squad" through Google, but here's a photo of a piece of their latest equipment: http://www.hackneyev.com/d_heavy_13.htm Marry Christmas, St. Dave!

Hey Bob - are you sure that's a lighthouse on Edison NJ? I've noticed a few patches that may be listed on ebay as including a lighthouse, but it sure doesn't look like one to me. I think the closest lighthouse to Edison is Navesink.

Now, you didn't ask for logic here John? Looks like a bright light at the top of a tall tower to me. A generic lighthouse? I made the call it was a lighthouse. Not mt best patch but... Bob ps I saw a lighthouse(I know no house but...) in the 'Gangs of New York' movie. The old pile of flaming logs in the middle of the harbor! pps There also a new movie coming out called "Dark ____" which had some preview scenes in and out of a lighthouse.

Chelmsford MA may be another one of those 'Izzat a lighthouse?' patches. Could be some local monument or other. Like Provincetown MA has the Pilgrim Monument.
