Patch is worn on the right sleeve if you served with that unit in combat. In this case it would be Grenada / OP Urgent Fury.

Under your "Unknown" list, the M.F. is MIKE Force (Vietnam). From Wiki:

The Mobile Strike Force Command, or MIKE Force, was a key component of United States Army Special Forces in the Vietnam War. They served with indigenous soldiers selected and trained through the largely minority Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) and were led by American SF and Australian Army Training Team Personnel AATTV. MIKE Force was a force multiplier, operating what is today called a Foreign Internal Defense mission.

MIKE Force was composed of the persecuted Degar, Bahnar, Hmong, Nung, Jarai, Khmer Krom, and Montagnards. MIKE Force was active under MACV, Army Special Forces, from 1964 to 1970 and under ARVN until 1974. MIKE Force waged special warfare against the Viet Minh, NLF (Viet Cong), and PAVN (North Vietnamese Army) oppressors in various detachments, volunteering in support of MIKE Force missions.

MIKE Force's mission was to act as a country-wide quick reaction force for securing, reinforcing, and recapturing CIDG A Camps, as well as to conduct special reconnaissance patrols. Search and rescue and search and destroy missions were also assigned. The conventional unit alternative to Special Forces detachments like MIKE was Tiger Force, which was primarily tasked with counter-guerrilla warfare against enemies from behind their lines that emphasized body-count rather than force multiplication.

MIKE Force had a critical role in the search and rescue
of downed American pilots because they were mobile and often in close
proximity to the DMZ. MIKE Force also designated drop zones, landing
zones, called in air strikes on high value targets, and collected
intelligence during recons, much like the LRRPs.

In 1970 MIKE Force was disbanded after Vietnamization ruined the
loyalty of the indigenous personnel when SF were ordered to abandon them
to the command of the South Vietnamese. While many Montagnards were
Christian, they were still looked down upon by the Vietnamese and
referred to as savages. In 1974 what indigenous personnel of the MIKE
Forces remained in Vietnam were, along with their tribes of origin,
systematically hunted down and murdered by the North Vietnamese when
they took over the South. Some Hmong, Nung, Montagnard, and other groups
still escape and evade persecution in Vietnam while struggling for
independence, much like the people of Burma who were left by Detachment 101 when, like Det. 101, MACV was ordered home by the President.

I remember that reflagging ceremony. The Army only did it because they were sending some of the Manchu's over to the Sinai for "peacekeeping" and someone from DA finally got wise to our (at the time) current unit patch and figured if they deployed with it, the arabs would start shooting thinking we were IDF. Because of the 6th ID Light patch, the Manchu's were dubbed the "Screaming Heb's" and we were dubbed the "Jumping Jews" because of the 6 pointed star patch. The patches DA comes up with sometimes leaves me wondering sometimes.

Saw Jane's Addiction at the Rok Fabrik. Got stabbed in the thigh by a Turk. Slapped a Field Dressing on it and rocked on.

Saw Jane's Addiction at the Rok Fabrik. Got stabbed in the thigh by a Turk. Slapped a Field Dressing on it and rocked on.

Two days later sucked, trying to force my leg through a pair of Kafka's (that place outside the front gate at Sheridan) overstarched BDUs with a stab wound in the thigh...I'm not sure how I lived through my early twenties.

Rock Fabrik was awesome. Saw a couple of great gigs there.... Hahaha, yeah the Turks would always start shit with the GI's, then MP would roll in and crack everybodies head. Good times...

The place outside the Sheridan gate was Kalka's. He had a cleaners/drycleans and did all the BDU starching, or altering Class A's. Old Kalka passed away, but AFAIK his son took over and the place does embroideries/patches.

How we survived our 20's..... A miracle. Haha. Damn, this is bringing back some mighty fine memories...
