Good Evening Gentlemen....

My name is Matt , My story is both long and unique as for as a Marine story goes...which I won't bore you with any more than possible..

I am the last of a very proud military tradition...I was born with cerebral palsey but served as an honorary Marine (Appointed by Commandant A M Gray in 1991)
Long story short... I am the Son of a Korea Marine and the Grandson of a Pearl Harbor Sailor...My Uncle served with HMM265...thus my primary reason here...well that's excuse anyway...

I can't serve as a fleet Marine so I settled for an Honorary Marine... got my first flight in a UH1N SOMS "RESCUE" bird Loud , Leaking and Lumbering ... I fell in love...

I couldn't fly....so I settled for model builder....If you can't fly em... build em right?

Well , twenty or so years later I'm still building this time for my Uncle... I need a bit of help and you guys I've seen a beat up photo of his "Phrog" but need some other photos showing other markings...BuNo's aren't really a giant deal but I do want to get as actuate as possible. The model (as planned now) will be mounted on a display holding is rack and wings.

Any help is welcomed

Semper Fi
Matt
