You can contact the VA, If your father was on the ground in Vietnam he is elligble for disability and medical care if he has diabetis. See links below.  You do need a DD-214 and asdditional proof he was on the ground in Vietnam.

Try to Yahoo Search US Army Units-Vietnam 1966-1970 and also Yahoo Search 468 Transportation Battalion- Vietnam '66-'70. That might do it for you.

VET-RECS (Google it for the exact web address).  You enter your information, and then print the signature sheet and send that in.  They said it would take four to six weeks to process my request, but I got my DD214's in about ten days.  You can also get verification of any medals and awards. (USN 1972-1985)

Might want to check out Military.com, I tried looking it up and at a quick glance it looks like you need a 74 or better, but I could be wrong.  talk to a recruiter, he would know (just don't give him your phone number ; )

If you want an answer to your question.... ask an old soldier. The  left shoulder patch in your father's photo is the ID patch of the Third Support Brigade which, by the way, is not a Vietnam unit but a Vietnam era unit that was stationed within the continental United States. It was activated during August, 1966, and deactivated in 1991. The patch has a red background bordered by yellow with three yellow spearheads in the foreground. The spearheads are pointing upward and are joined at the shoulder symbolizing the spirit of cooperation and industry exerted in support of services to the Army's combat elements. Your fathers rank, below the unit ID patch, shows at that time he was a Specialist Fourth Class ( E-4 ). Kind of like a specialized corporal but had no NCO privileges. The ribbon he is wearing over his left pocket is the ribbon of the National Defense Medal. The badge below that is an Expert Rifleman's Badge for rifle marksmanship. When this photo was taken your father had not been sent to Vietnam yet since no campaign or other personal awards (i.e. ribbons) are present in the photo. I hope this answers your question. If you could describe your fathers Vietnam unit patch, located on the right shoulder of the uniform, I would be more than happy to assist in explaining where your father was at in Vietnam and with what unit he was with. By the way, nice tattoo and your mom and dad did a good job. You're very pretty and lucky to have a dad who served. Tell him I said, "Welcome Home".
