Description: This Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered shoulder arc patch measures 3.5" by 0.7", used condition. During the Vietnam war, the 45th Medical Company was operational at Long Binh, about twenty kilometers northeast of Saigon in September 1967. The 45th soon committed itself to giving twenty-four hour standbys at several bases around Saigon. One aircraft also gave daylight support to the Australians in the Saigon area. At Long Binh the company kept three standby aircraft for nearby evacuations and another for VIP or medical administration missions. From June through September alone, nine of the aircraft were damaged in combat. In October the 93d Evacuation Hospital started using the 45th to transfer most of its patients to a casualty staging facility near Tan Son Nhut, saving the injured the discomfort of riding in ground ambulances over the congested and dusty streets of Saigon. The company was inactivated in Vietnam on 30 April 1971. Worldwide combined shipment is welcome to save you money. Please visit my EAZYCOLLECTIBLES Store for more great war items.
