Not from Jun68 to Jun69 either, Bob. Maybe in conversation, but no patches. The 545th Trans Det (CHFM) did the maintenance until January 1969, then the 545th was absorbed into the 119th. They also changed the TO&E of the Company, changed the name from 119th Assault Helicopter Company to 119th Aviation Company (Airmobile Light), which everybody ingnored. There's a picture of the red 545th patch in the photo album.

Maybe there were Swamp Rat patches after (or well-before?) that?
