condor Posted February 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2018 I got these two patches together. There is nothing to indicate where they are from or if they are USCG or Air Force or neither. The "Commie" makes me think Vietnam. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment

Salvage Sailor Posted February 21, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 21, 2018 Aloha These are both listed on Wess Wessling's United States Coast Guard Patch Archive as unidentified http://www.rexmwess.com/cgpatchs/archives-misc.html Hopefully someone else will have some info on their origin Link to comment

gwb123 Posted February 22, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2018 With that white cloth backing covering the reverse threads, I agree they are most likely Thai made. Link to comment
MastersMate Posted February 22, 2018 Share #9 Posted February 22, 2018 There were, I believe two LORAN stations in theater. One on Con Son Island off the south coast and one in SE Thailand Link to comment
