GIs in country had tons of unauthorized patches made up for them. Unauthorized meaning they couldn't wear them on their uniforms once they left Vietnam. And in many cases couldn't even wear them in Vietnam, if the wrong officer or NCO saw them and wanted it removed.
For authorized patches: If the patch is worn on the left shoulder, it's the man's current division; right shoulder his old division (and he can't wear it anymore, unless he was in combat with that particular division, it's referred to as a "combat patch"). If the item is worn on the shoulder tab (epaulet), it's a battalion crest (and will be made of metal usually). Worn on the left chest above the pocket are medals/ribbons/badges.
The only "Eagle" patch worn on a shoulder is the 101st Airborne (Airmobile) division patch; with a tab over the eagle saying, "Airborne." Even though the division was officially designated an "Airmobile" division in Vietnam, the outfit still retained the title "Airborne" tab.
This patch is a rank insignia of a US Army Specialist 4, or abbreviated as Spc4 or Spec4. It is in the same pay grade as a corporal. The eagle is holding an olive branch in his right talon and arrows in his left. It was used in Vietnam and is still in use.
