I have a friend looking for a USS Terry (a DD513 class destroyer) patch. This ship was shelled at Iwo Jima. I've looked online and found several sites on the Terry, but nothing about the patch for the ship. Any help? Suggestions?

Thanks, folks!

I'm guessing the little blue patch is what the sailors wore who served on the ship, so, yes, that's what I'm looking for. I did find a pin on eBay but I don't think that is what he would want. The patch itself would mean much more.
