smwinter207 Posted May 11, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2020 This patch is constructed a little different than many of the other VN ones I have. Really great craftsmanship. S Link to post Share on other sites

Matt-M Posted May 12, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 12, 2020 Great looking patch. What is the story it's telling? Is that a black hand coming from a basket of rice? Link to post Share on other sites
smwinter207 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 13, 2020 I'd like to see if anyone knows more about this patch? This is VN made, right? Thanks! S Link to post Share on other sites
JBFloyd Posted May 13, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 13, 2020 Det 1, 620th Tactical Control Squadron (callsign "Waterboy"), at Dong Ha, was the northernmost control and reporting post of the 505th Tactical Control Group. Dong Ha city, capital of Quang Tri Province, was the northernmost city in South Vietnam. Waterboy monitored/controlled air traffic over the approaches from North Vietnam, keeping allied aircraft from straying over the DMZ. The "black hand" on the patch is actually a search radar mounted on an 80-foot tall tower. The imagery depicts Dong Ha's proximity to the DMZ and the ability of radar to penetrate the DMZ into the north. Link to post Share on other sites
