This is the Pork Eating Crusader Patch. It features a crusader from the middle ages munching on a piece of pork. It has the words "Pork Eating Crusader" across the top in English and (what I assume) the same across the bottom in arabic. It's done in desert colors so that you can wear it with pride and piss off our desert hosts - I'm just sayin' . . . Sweet patch. This patch comes with velcro attached.

This is the Mom Cares Patch. This might actually be the funniest patch I've ever seen. If you don't get the sarcasm - don't get the patch :-) It features your mom with a cooking sheet with the words "Your Mom Sends Me Care Packages". It's done in desert colors. This patch comes with velcro attached.

This is the Flight Suit Sleeve Embrace the Suck patch. It comes in desert colors. This patch comes with velcro attached.

This is the Flight Suit Sleeve Infidel Strong patch. I'm pretty sure it's a play on the Army slogan, "Army Strong". It comes in desert colors. This patch comes with velcro attached.

This is a 911 Memorial Patch. Very simple and elegant patch. It's done in a pentagon shape with the twin towers forming the 11 in 9-11-01. It has the American flag at the bottom and states "REMEMBER" across the middle. This patch does not have velcro attached.

This is the RQ-4 Global Hawk 20000 combat hours patch. I believe it's about 6-9 months old. It shows the global hawk over Southeast Asia with the number "20000" and the words "Combat Hours" inside the inner circle. The outer circle has the words "USAF RQ-4 GLOBAL HAWK" across the top and "GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM" across the bottom. The Northrop Grumman (formerly Ryan Aeronautical) RQ-4 Global Hawk (known as Tier II+ during development) is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) used by the United States Air Force and Navy as a surveillance aircraft. In role and operational design, the Global Hawk is similar to the Lockheed U-2, the venerable 1950s spy plane. It is a theater commander's asset to provide a broad overview and systematic target surveillance. For this purpose, the Global Hawk is able to provide high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)—that can penetrate cloud-cover and sandstorms— and Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) imagery at long range with long loiter times over target areas. It can survey as much as 40,000 square miles (100,000 square kilometers) of terrain a day. Missions for the Global Hawk cover the spectrum of intelligence collection capability to support forces in worldwide peace, crisis, and wartime operations. According to the Air Force, the capabilities of the aircraft allow more precise targeting of weapons and better protection of forces through superior surveillance capabilities. The Global Hawk costs about $35 million USD (actual per-aircraft costs; with development costs also included, the per-aircraft cost rises to $123.2 million USD each). This patch does not come with velcro attached.

This is the Operation Ranch Hand Patch from the Vietnam War. It's a smaller patch but, still nicely done. Operation Ranch Hand was a U.S. Military operation during the Vietnam War, lasting from 1962 until 1971. It was part of the overall herbicidal warfare program during the war called "Operation Trail Dust". Ranch Hand involved spraying an estimated 20 million US gallons of defoliants and herbicides over rural areas of South Vietnam. The United Nations passed a resolution that the use of any kind of biological or chemical weapon to kill plants in time of war is a violation of that protocol. Areas of Laos and Cambodia were also sprayed to a lesser extent. Nearly 20,000 sorties were flown between 1961 and 1971. The "Ranch Handers" motto was "Only you can prevent a forest" a take on the popular US Forestry poster of Smokey the Bear. During the ten years of spraying over 5 million acres (20,000 km2) of forest and 500,000 acres (2,000 km2) of crops were heavily damaged or destroyed. Around 20% of the forest of South Vietnam were sprayed at least once. The herbicides were sprayed by the U.S. Air Force flying C-123s using the call sign "Hades". The planes were fitted with specially developed spray tanks with a capacity of 1,000 US gallons (4 m3) of herbicides. A plane sprayed a swath of land that was 80 meters wide and 16 km (~10 miles) long in about 4˝ minutes at a rate of about 3 US gallons per acre (3 m3/km2). Sorties usually consisted of 3 - 5 planes flying side by side. 95% of the herbicides and defoliants used in the war were sprayed by the U.S. Air Force as part of Operation Ranch Hand. The remaining 5% were sprayed by the US Chemical Corps and other military branches as well as the RVN by hand sprayers, spray trucks, helicopters and boats primarily around U.S. military installations. This patch does not come with velcro attached.
