Description: Vintage original Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered patch, size is 2.5" by 1.5". A great find for any military collectible enthusiast. During the Vietnam War, the term "DUSTOFF" referred to the medical evacuation helicopters that were used as ambulance helicopters to transport wounded soldiers from the battlefield to medical facilities for treatment. DUSTOFF stands for "Dedicated Unhesitating Service To Our Fighting Forces" and was the call sign used by medical evacuation helicopter crews in Vietnam. These helicopters were equipped with specialized medical equipment and trained medical personnel, such as medics, nurses, and doctors, who would stabilize the wounded soldiers before transporting them to hospitals or other medical facilities. The speed and efficiency of the DUSTOFF system helped to increase the chances of survival for soldiers who were injured on the battlefield. The DUSTOFF crews flew unarmed helicopters and often had to fly into hostile territory to retrieve wounded soldiers. Despite the risks, they were dedicated to their mission of saving lives and often operated under extreme conditions, such as under enemy fire and adverse weather.The importance of DUSTOFF operations during the Vietnam War cannot be overstated, as they helped to save the lives of many wounded soldiers who would have otherwise died from their injuries. The legacy of DUSTOFF continues to inspire the medical evacuation field today, and their bravery and dedication will always be remembered.
