Description: Used Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered patch, size is 3.2" by 3.2". A valuable addition to your collection of Vietnam war memorabilia items. On April 15, 1966, PACAF organized a fifth FAC squadron as the 23rd TASS with Lt Colonel Robert L. Johnston as the commander. The squadron's initial assignment was at Udom Royal Thai Air Force Base in northern Thailand. Udom's location, however, was better suited for air operations against Barrel Roll than Steel Tiger. So, the 23rd TASS was reassigned to the airfield at Nakhon Phanom. On July 15, 1966, the squadron completed the relocation into facilities that were austere, but adequate. Following a 29 April 1966 request from USAF Captain John C. Taylor to Mr. Walt Disney, the squadron patch featuring Jimney Cricket was designed by people of Walt Disney Productions. During the Vietnam War, personnel of the 23rd TASS were awarded the following unit citations: Five Presidential Unit Citations, 3 Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards with Combat "V" and 3 Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Crosses with Palm, along with 13 Southeast Asia Campaign Credits.
