US Army 247th Dust Off Patch

The 247th Medical Detachment — another Dust Off unit that flew into the fire to bring the wounded home.

The 247th Medical Detachment (Helicopter Ambulance) conducted medevac operations during the Vietnam War, flying UH-1 Hueys into hostile landing zones to evacuate wounded soldiers. Dust Off crews like the 247th operated under some of the most dangerous conditions in the war — red crosses on their aircraft and no weapons, flying directly into the fight to save lives.

Perfect For:
247th Medical Detachment veterans, Army Dust Off crews, Vietnam medevac personnel, and military medical aviation patch collectors.

247th. Dust Off. Into the fire.
