Vietnam War DUSTOFF SAVE LIVES Patch

Description: Vintage original Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered patch, size is 2" by 2.5". A great find for any military collectible enthusiast. During the Vietnam War, the term "DUSTOFF" referred to a medical evacuation helicopter that was used to transport wounded soldiers from the battlefield to a field hospital or other medical facility. These helicopters were operated by the United States Army, and the crews who flew them were often exposed to enemy fire and other dangers while performing their duties.Despite the risks, DUSTOFF crews were dedicated to their mission of saving lives. They would fly into hot landing zones to retrieve wounded soldiers, often under heavy fire, and then transport them to medical facilities where they could receive the care they needed. The speed and efficiency of the DUSTOFF system helped to increase the chances of survival for soldiers who were injured on the battlefield.One famous example of a DUSTOFF crew saving lives during the Vietnam War is the story of Patrick Brady, a U.S. Army helicopter pilot who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism in flying DUSTOFF missions. In January 1968, Brady flew his helicopter into a landing zone that was under heavy fire to rescue wounded soldiers. Despite sustaining multiple wounds himself, he continued to fly back and forth, evacuating a total of 51 wounded soldiers over the course of several hours.The bravery and dedication of DUSTOFF crews saved countless lives during the Vietnam War, and their legacy continues to inspire those who serve in the medical evacuation field today.
