I.D.ed 513th River Patrol Section Vietnam group

Vietnamese made shoulder patch, matching 'beercan' crest and in-country made name tape as removed from a tattered jungle jacket.  The patch is still sewn to the sleeve cloth.
As with SOG patches, Cheap Charlie versions are scarce but obtainable, it's the unit worn patches that are exceedingly tough to find!  This one is solidly documented with the name tape and the veteran's photo and bio are found on line on the 513th's webpage. I would assume this patch is the one in the photo of Merrill!
