USAF CSAR / Jolly Green / WSR 008/B Patch

USAF Combat Rescue / Jolly Green / "We fly where others have failed" / WSR 008/B Patch
I'm wondering what WSR 008/B means. Weapons Rescue School? Winter Storm Reconnaissance? Class "008/B" perhaps? The background target looks like Nellis, AFB patch to me. Probably a Class Patch...

USAF 38th ARRS / Aerospace Rescue & Restaurant Service Patch

USAF 38th Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Squadron / Aerospace Rescue & Restaurant Service / "That Others May Eat" Patch
One of the toughest "hard to find" patches from my collection. 

The story behind this patch tells that rations ran to the sites along the 38th Parallel in Korea back in the 70's and that's the main motto of this design. Designed by NCOIC PJ Jim Spears and produced by Flight Engineer Fred Crimmins from the 38th ARRS in 1979, these patches were made in very small quantities. A second large version was made (around 4/5 only) and the first large one went to the new 38th ARRS Commander when he came to Osan AFB for his initial visit at the A-Frame club and had a ceremony where this big version was presented him.

Large version sewed on Fred Crimmins helmet bag

USAF 38th ARRS / Det. 5 / Jolly Green / Maintenance Patch

USAF 38th Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Service / Detachment 5 / Jolly Green / Maintenance Patch
Hard to find patch, Circa 1967 - Vietnam Made.
The 38th ARRS Det. 5 was based at Tan Son Nhut, flew only HH-43B/Fs, deployed it 32 aircraft on 24-hour alerts at 14 bases in South Vietnam and Thailand. The only exception was 2 CH-3C’s assigned to Det 1, NKP in 1965 as the first “Jolly Green” helicopters in SEA. There's another version that states they were out of Udorn and they had up to 5 or 6 Jolly’s at a time. Folded them into 37th in Jan ‘67. Also, they continued using it at Osan between 1980/85'.
