New addition to collection, navy squadron patch

[bronxboymike]

I know only a few people on here who are naval aviation collectors will enjoy these, but here goes.

The first patch is from VA-702 a navy reserve squadron from Dallas, TX. It was one of first reserve squadrons called to active duty for the Korean War.

The second patch is from VP-51, a patrol squadron which was active from sept 1948 - feb 1950.
