I am making a shadow box for my father who was in the Air Force from 1968 to 1972. I need some help finding patches.

He was with the 7102nd Computer Services Squadron in Germany. What patch would I associate with that unit? Unit level or Major Command will work.

Additionally he was with the 4500 Support Squadron at Langley. I am also looking for any unit patch or insignia for that unit, I know it fell under TAC.

They would be in USAFE (US Air Forces Europe) Activated at Lindsey AB, Germany. They came directly under USAFE.

This may not hep you with this question but can help with other items such as medals. You can request a one time replacement of medals if you are the veteran or descendant of the veteran. See http://www.archives.gov/veterans/replace-medals.html for specifics. Good luck!
