Extremely rare patch set from the 33rd. ERQS. Worn during 2005 during operations for a Tsunami relief in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka was one of the countries struck by the tsunami resulting from the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004. On January 3, 2005, Sri Lankan authorities reported 30.196 confirmed deaths. Many of the dead were adults and the elderly. The south and east coasts were worst hit. One and a half million people were displaced from their homes. The death toll continued to rise as the threat of infectious diseases breaking out turned into a reality, with doctors confirming first cases of cholera. The 33rd ERQS participated in humanitarian relief and rescue operations in that mission.
