if you dont have a patch, then post your k-bar.[:D]
when i was kid, my neighbor brought out his uncles korean war pilot helmet to wear when we rode our go-karts down the hill. we were being like steve canyon. it stuck in my mind and never forgot it.
it helped make me the aviator i became. its things like patches that kids like. they like to touch things, not listen to old koots. so, if youre lucky to have more than bad memories or tattoos to show everyone, post it here so others can enjoy.[;)]

btw...patches were important in the navy. that way they could i.d. the dead floating corpse if a plane ditched.

we use to pity anyone from midway![:D]Trust me, the Midway was a fresh water making machine, very seldom did we go on water hours and when we did it was because we gave water to other ships in the Gulf. The Ranger, on the other hand, was a break down piece of, well.......! [:D]
Now, the Island on the other hand, that would be a big YEP!

special forces patch, for Ray B , the patch on the left sleeve is the unit you are assigned to. A patch on the right sleeve is of a unit you served with in combat.

Hey 196 LIB- What years were you with the burning rope?? 68-71 for me..
I was a Forward Air Controller for all of 1971. Because I flew a highly covert mission, we didn't have patches. We flew in "sterile" fatigues, flight suits or sometimes shorts and tee shirt: no name, no rank, and no ID card.But we did have these "generic" patches around. Oh the mission patch is a bit of an understatement; I flew 300 missions.

Rocky,
What type of aircraft were you in and what was your AO in 71? We may have been involved in somethings together!!![;)]

Later, it reflagged to this:
