100 Missions Firefly USAF Patch

Hello again,

Just picked up this patch in a collection of Vietnam era stuff. Appears to be Japanese made, but I can find no information on what Firefly is...I have possible leads towards some call signs used around the Plain of Jars in Laos by USAF Pilots. Any information on what this could possibly be would be greatly appreciated...If I assume that the blue part on the patch is supposed to water, then that kind of knocks Laos out of the picture, and I have no idea what the different colored stars are. Possible the blue and white parts are the borders of Thailand and Laos, Laos being the White area, and the two small blue lines are rivers in the southern part of Laos???? HELP!!! I'm thinking too much I think.

Firefly is the callsign for interdiction sorties in the Barrel Roll and the Northern part of North Vietnam. Wonderful patch!
