Can anyone tell me more about this patch? Looks like a heavy bombing unit of some type.

Im researching a patch board of a career USAF pilot and Id like some help of a few patches.

Yes, he did fly bombers, I think B-47s

Thanks in advance.

Looking at the 2nd Bomb Wing info, I see the motto is "We Defend Liberty" in Latin. This example is a different shape than illustrated in wiki.

It's an early 60s era patch. They dropped the rectangle and just used the shield in the later 60s I think.
