This is an Air Force Communications Command shield patch, the AFCC major command that ran Air Force communications from 1979 to 1991.
Its lineage begins with the Army Airways Communications System in November 1938. It became Air Force Communications Service, the 16th major air command, on 1 July 1961, and was redesignated Air Force Communications Command on 15 November 1979. Its airmen ran radio nets, telephone switches, air traffic control and navigational aids worldwide.
The patch measures 3 by 3 inches with a cut edge and iron-on backing.
Put it in a shadow box with your squadron patch, or give it to a comm veteran from the AFCC years.
