Good morning Sir,
please excuse my late reply to your inquiry but I was otherwise involved
and had no time to take care of it.
There is a very simple explanation to how and why the patch was created
back in the days.
Alizee was some years ago in Mazar-e-Sharif to "entertain" the troops
with her famous music.
Based on that event numerous patches from all different units working
down there were created with using the red fish as a symbol for Alizee.
There was never an official patch created based on that.
Please contact me for any further questions...

Now I find it hard to believe she was in Afghanistan, mainly because I'm sure we would've heard about it. If she did go , it would have been mostly to support French troops, but most likely she would have seen troops from several countries. Still I don't believe she was there and am wondering if this guy is just b s ing me or has her confused with someone else.
