Aloha Everyone,

 

Here's another odd patch, measures 2 1/4" x 3"

 

SAR - Obviously Search and Rescue but whose?

Rare to see a patch without any sort of unit ID, so perhaps Coast Guard Auxiliary? Or, given the map of the world and the baby blue color, something UN related?

If this is not US, it's the global map that's throwing me.

 

Obviously aerial Search and Rescue (Pelican, preserver, and duh, SAR) but who else would have world wide SAR capabilities?

 

UK? France? Birdwatchers?

Could be an older USCG. They flew the HH-3F "Pelican".

 

 

HH-3F "Pelican" Long-range search and rescue helicopter for the US Coast Guard, 40 built.

It might be a stretch, but What about Louisiana? Louisiana is pretty much synonymous with the pelican... I found one patch searching Louisiana search and rescue with a similar color scheme but a different picture.
