Gorgeous 1967 USN HQ Support Activity Saigon, Nam-Made Pocket Patch

Gorgeous circa 1967 United States Navy Headquarters Support Activity Saigon pocket patch. This example was hand-embroidered in Viet Nam and the center shows a black anchor bearing a red, white, and blue US Shield against a background of yellow and reads: "YEM TRO ۣ 55 SUPPORT". The outer blue ring reads: "U.S. NAVY HEADQUARTERS SUPPORT ACTIVITY SAIGON" in yellow embroidered lettering. The patch was removed from a scrapbook and has stiffened as a result of the adhesive used.
