USAF 38th ARRS / Det. 14 / Vietnam Era / Pedro Patch

USAF 38th Air Rescue & Recovery Squadron / Detachment 14 / Vietnam Era / South East Asia Made / Pedro Patch
This is a VERY hard to find original Vietnam War patch from the early days  of ¨Pedro's¨. Amazing. 

In Dec 1971, Det 14, 3 ARRGp absorbed the Det. 6 at Bien Hoa Air Base, personnel not DEROSing were assigned to Det. 14 and the aircraft were transferred to TSNAB. The super detachment then pulled TDY alert at BHAB. TSNAB (Tan Son Nhut Air Base 1955–1975) was a Republic of Vietnam Air Force (RVNAF) facility. It was located near the city of Saigon in southern Vietnam. The United States used it as a major base during the Vietnam War (1959–1975), stationing Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine units there. Following the Fall of Saigon, it was taken over as a Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF) facility and remains in use today.
