Anybody out there ever seen this patch before?
My oldest brother served in Vietnam with the Marine Corp.
My second oldest brother served in The Philipines, Marine Corp as well.
I found this in an old e-mail from The Oldest brother, apparently he operated a Machine gun on a Zippo as he called it. is name was Tom Yax.
Sorr cant seem to get the patch up. It says USMCVTA 65-70

I am not shure but in WWII sherman tanks were called zippos and rohnsom(sp) lighters cause they always went upp on the first hit. Maybe he operated a machine gun on a new or modified version.??
The USMCVTA was the Vietnam Tankers Association. They designed the patch, found some interesting stuff about my brother on the Angelfire site.
