US Navy Patch

To day, (23 April, 2015) I was looking up an old patch that I remember from being on board the USS Iwo Jima LPH-2 from May 1976 to December 1976. I was with the US Marine air wing detachment. We were involved in the evacuation of Beirut, Lebanon. If I recall correctly we sailed around a rock in the Med. we called Kythera (sp?) for approximately 108 days before the evacuation. Hence the title "Wasted days and wasted nights". I thought there was one tree on the rock.
