"Make My Day" of course originated with the movie Dirty Harry in 1971. But in a military context, this probably more directly relates to Ronald Reagan's use in 1985.

 

"When speaking out against taxes at the 1985 American Business Conference, President Ronald Reagan, himself a former actor, stated "I have my veto pen drawn and ready for any tax increase that Congress might even think of sending up. And I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers. Go ahead—make my day."

You heard the phrase over and over again after that point. The patch looks correct for that period.

 

Perhaps a student or training flight?

BUFF is an acronym for "Big Ugly Fat F^$%er". Most likely, this was a flight patch for one of the Bombardment Squadrons. I know the 416th BG out of Griffis had flight patches.
