Hey gang, just located another missing HMM-361 guy:
Les Bowles
512 Center St.
Lathrop, MO 64465-9548
816-740-6299
Les was a door gunner. He was in country Oct. 1965 to Mar. 1966. He told me he got med evaced in March 1966 when he broke a knee during a hard landing. He sent me an order for a HMM-361 patch. I didn't find his name in the 2002 Roster so I gave him a call. Since I've been selling the patches whenever I get an order, and I don't find the name in the book I get in touch just to make sure they get the word about the association. Make sure to pass the information about Les to the 361 squadron coordinator, and make sure he gets association information.
Semper Fi,
