Help Identifying a patch

[amberg1853]

This came from an estate of a guy in Richardsville, Va.  He served in the artilly his whole 30 year career, closest I could find is maybe 33rd Artillery but may be foreign.  He served in Italy in WW2, Korea and Vietnam with five stints in Germany.  Thanks in advance,  Brian

There are multiple patches assoc w/ MAAG - Iran.  ASMIC pubbed a very good article on the subject in the Jul-Sept 2018 issue of The Trading Post, including when they were worn.
