USAF Jolly Green Giant / Pararescue / Vietnam Era Patch

USAF Jolly Green Giant / Pararescue / Vietnam Era Patch
This is an original wartime patch EXTREMELY RARE, almost unique, probably the only one ever displayed in a collection. It's really detailed and was never used and in excellent condition, possibly Japanese machine embroidered patch of U.S Air Force Air Rescue & Recovery Service / Jolly Greens used by HH-53 "Super Jolly Green Giant” pilots during Vietnam war.  It's believed is related to the 9th Division Black Panthers were supported directly buy HH-53/ HH-3's in Vietnam, but also the panther could be from the 13th TFS and the rooster the 67th TFS. The insignia measures 3 1/3 X 6 inches. A nice piece full of early days Jolly Greens heritage, history and rare spoof patch. Circa 1967/70'.
