You might try this impressive site : http://www.usafpatches.com, but you'd
better brew a gallon of coffee first as there are literally thousands of
patches (some of them, expecially the "morale" ones, are gems). The guy's
"want list" is still pretty long though, so maybe you should also ask him.

Save your time. It's the patch of the Vatican's Joint Jesuit/Benedictine
Strike Force out of the Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, Arizona.

And since you blabbed it all over Usenet they'll have to kill you.

Heh. I grew up not far from St. David, we'd pass through it driving
to Tucson. A nice little place it was at the time (1950s-1960s).
Sometime around 1960 a bunch of folks set up an enclave near there
to await the Second Coming. Probably just a cover for the VJJBSF/HTM.

Of course, around the same time, another group was awaiting the S.C.
down on the border close to Ft. Huachuca. Those things were hard
to sort out.

Done, at the suggestion of someone upthread. Patch submitted for ID
or posting.

I spent most of yesterday morning enjoying the site. A couple of
patches seem to have escaped from BYEMAN channels, somewhat to my
surprise. (An NRO launch patch showing a DRAGON holding a CRYSTAL
-- what could that ever be?)

FWIW, I asked someone who knew Latin in the dark ages (aka high
school), and got the translation:

"Don't ask the Marines to be blind late at
night."

Marines is "milites classiarii"-soldiers of the fleet. No "classis"
involved.
