Happy Friday all,
Here is a fairly recent pickup,an Air Force "Pedro" Southeast Asia Rescue patch with a "100 Combat Missions Tab".These are US made pieces.The tab is tougher to find than the main patch."Pedro" was the name given the Kaman Aircraft H-43 "Huskie",an amazing little Helicopter that rescued Pilots and other Military personnel during the Vietnam War.For Aircrew recovery missions,ParaRescue Jumpers (PJ's) were used.
I'm unsure if this patch is unit specific(38th ARRS) or was used by other Rescue Units.If anyone knows for sure,please let me know.Thanks!
