"All
Stars", 1969The
patch, shaped like a shield and outlined in black, has five
white stars on a blue background in its upper portion. The
nickname "ALL STARS" leaves blue contrails as it flares from the
red and white vertical stripes of the lower portion. The blue
numeral "38" sits to the upper left of the nickname.
The patch resembles the American flag and the Air
Force shield and symbolizes the qualities of patriotism, courage
and devotion to duty. "ALL STARS" is testimony to the excellence
with which each squadron member performs his duties and
responsibilities. The five stars stand for the five ideals of
the squadron: character, discipline, devotion to duty,
excellence and pride.
This second patch of the squadron was approved
in 1972.
