I'm going to post this into the 'Looking For' thread, as well as each of the 4 units my father was assigned to:
HMM 165 07/07/68 to 08/28/68
HMM 364 07/17/68 to 12/02/68
HMM 265 11/01/68 to 05/24/69
HMM 462 10/28/68 to 02/28/69

I'm looking for anyone who may remember my father and be able to share any stories with me about him during this time. Or I guess any time really. He was a Lt.Col then. Retired in 1977, and past away in 1989. I just now found this site and was hoping to find out more about him.

Thanks,
Drew Blaha

I was just a lieutenant when I met Colonel Blaha in Vietnam. I had arrived to HMM-165 in Phu Bai in June of 1968. He left the squadron as we boarded the USS TRipoli in August 1968. He was a great pilot and was well liked by all of us. Semper Fidelis!
