Here is a fun one I found. This one is big at nearly 12". I believe this one may either be WW2 reunion patch or one made in Japan or Okinawa between the Korean War and WW2.

I thought about that but they left out "Korea." I know DUKWs were used then but it would have been included in the design.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I was an Amtracker for a long time and spent years at Camp Schwab, Okinawa. I wonder if DUKWs were stationed there?

I was on Okinawa in 1958 & 1959, pre Camp Schwab, never saw a DUKW, USMC or USA. a very nice patch but perhaps a Reunion piece? Bobgee

That is what I am thinking. However, the patch was made in the Far East- perhaps Okinawa because it has that style of embroidery I saw so often out there.
