Bearmon Posted December 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 18, 2010 A dear friend of mine gave this to me when she found out I collected patches. She was with Air America in the 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish Posted December 18, 2010 Share #7 Posted December 18, 2010 A couple more attributed to the Ravens. The bottom patch is for the 54th SO Wing, which I believe was the Ravens parent unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted April 21, 2016 Share #8 Posted April 21, 2016 Just came across this. Great looking patch.It looks THAI made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchcollector Posted February 12, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 12, 2018 In case the link gets broken I'm posting the image that Irish linked to in post # 7. I have one of the circular patches with the Raven and "Laos" on it too. I think that the center patch is the 56th SOW though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Baldwin Posted July 2, 2018 Share #10 Posted July 2, 2018 The patches with the eagle (?) and "Laos" at the bottom are FAR pocket patches worn by Lao forces. Another style of FAR pocket patch has a red background and features an Erawan. Only a guess, but I am thinking that the patch with the raven belly up in a glass of bubbly is from when the Ravens were disbanded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very astute observation, I will ask my friend if that is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
