Description
Price is for one United States Air Force (USAF) military patch. Buyer will pay actual USPS First Class shipping.Each patch indicates on the front that this unit was associated with 25th Air Force. 25th Air Force, according to Google, is associated with the National Security Agency and conducts intelligence activities for the United States Air Force. I tried to Google the "ZQ" portion of the coin and came up with references to "Special Analysis Directorate". I could not find references to "OL-WP" in Google, though I believe the "WP" is probably "Wright-Patterson".
"The Truth is in the Noise" and "Special Analysis Branch" is written on the patch. It has a large dragon above a globe. Not sure of the significance. Perhaps an interstellar threat to planet Earth?? It also has a very bright star above the dragon.
I also have a few of the coins for sale from the same unit (see my other listings if you're interested). While the patch doesn't say so, the coin says "Lifetime of Silence Behind the Green Door". It also has a spy-like figure on it. I have heard of this reference before. It is said these programs are special in nature and often refer to very secretive or intelligence programs in the military.
People like Wright-Patterson militaria because of the lore surrounding the Roswell incident in the 1940s. It is said that a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, and that the craft and beings were taken to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for study and cover-up. Rumors and urban legends have swirled for decades surrounding Wright-Patterson and its role in the development of alien technology. It is the Area 51 of Ohio! Are these patches related to any of that? Your guess is as good as mine. I don't have many of these. Don't miss your chance to get a very cool piece of American military history.
The patches appear new and are 4 inches in diameter. They're high quality patches as far as military patches go (you won't be disappointed in the quality, look and feel). They have the hook/loop style backing.
Thanks for looking.
