His sister is adamant that he served in Desert Storm (she says HMLA-267, but they were part of HMM-164's composite squadron at that time). HQMC denies it and it does not show up on his DD-214. He died last year and his sister is trying to get everything straightened out for his daughter. Any and all help would be appreciated. Please send me a pm that I can forward to his sister. Thanks

Larry,
Thank you for posting for me. My membership was approved and hopefully someone who served with him either in Desert Storm or Camp Pendleton will reply. I appreciate your help.

I was with HMLA-267 from 1989 to 1992 and "detached" to HMM-164 as part of the 13th MEU-SOC from June of 90 to April of 91 serving in the Gulf aboard the USS Okinawa.
I know the name "TOP Soemer" but I can't recall the face... A picture would likely trigger my recollection and I'm sure I'd be able to place him aboard ship if he were there too.
Best of luck!

Walter - YIPPEEE! Finally someone from the 164! I just sent you a private message because I'm not sure how to upload a photo and I'm on my laptop.
The photos are on my desktop.
Hope to hear back from you and will be able to send the photo.
Thank you so much for your reply!
