The most famous '8' shoulder patch of WWII - if it is the one that has a winged 8 in gold stitching on a blue background, then it would signify that the wearer was a member of the US 8th Air Force, which was the unit stationed in Britain (mainly in East England). It comprised mainly bomber squadrons flying such aircraft as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress on raids into Germany and occupied Europe and later also fighter escorts with the Merlin-engined long-range Mustang.

Does Vietnam era get a patch?

For US Army only (Vietnam War era): If you've been in combat with a particular division, you may wear the shoulder patch on your RIGHT shoulder (some men referred to this as a "combat patch"). The left shoulder reflects your current division. If you've never been in combat with that particular division and had worn that division patch on your left shoulder for 20 years (as an example), when you leave that particular division...you may NOT wear the patch on your right shoulder.
