Looking for a member of HMM-264 during 1965-1968 period. Also, need to get picture of HMM-264 Squadron insigna - Black Knights during that period, Am doing research on HMM-264 insignia placed on a venicle I have owned since mid 60's. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Car was originally purchased by HMM-264 member in Alabama and drived to North Texas during his deployment as a chopper pilot (I think). Want to track the insignia and possible get in contact the the original owner. Need your help to complete my mission.

HMM-264 Patch
I was assigned to HMM-264 after I returned stateside from 'Nam. I was with the squadron from Oct 67 to Jan 69. The squadron patch in the Freedom Hill px link on Popasmoke, Squadron Patches is the patch that we were using at that time. Hope this helps.
Semper Fi,
Paul

******************************
I don't know if I can be of much help. I was a L/Cpl in HMM-264 from about October 1967 until I deployed to RVN in about March 1969. There are a couple of squadron insignias for HMM-264. I'm not positive which was the official one for the time frame you are requesting. If you check google.com for HMM264.com (I think that is the right URL) you will find their official page. They may be able to help you there. If I can answer any other questions of be of further help contact me at: jwnich49@comcast.net or Heavy_Haulers_462@hotmail.com
