USAF 33rd Air Rescue Squadron / "That others may live" Vintage Patch
Amazing piece in perfect conservation condition. EXTREMELY hard to find. Japanese made Circa 1952/65'.
The 33d has performed search, rescue and recovery missions from 1952–1960, 1961–1970, and since 1971. The squadron flew missions in support of the Vietnam War from 1965–1967. The 33d supported operations following the seizure of the USS Pueblo by North Korea between 29 January and 16 September 1968 and aided search efforts and salvage operations from September–October 1983, after a Soviet fighter aircraft shot down South Korean airliner.
