My son is presently deployed to Iraq with the "Ugly Angels", the HMH-362 Squadron. I also belong to an Organization called "Soldiers Angels". SA 's mission is to provide support to our service men and women wherever our flag is flown. One of the Angels came across a patch worn by the "Uglies" that has a picture of Snoopy the Flying Ace wearing a scarf that has HMH-362 Medical and a red cross on it. If any one has any idea how I could obtain at least one, preferably two of these patches, I would be very appreciative. When I mentioned to my son, that I had seen the patch, he knew of it and commented what a great thing to be able to have one. I am also trying to find one for his Flight Doc who is a really great guy. He has gone above and beyond providing great medical care and invaluable moral support to his Squadron. Thanks!

PS: To all of you fine service man and women, a sincere thank you for your service to our country!

PSS: If you would like more infomation on Soldiers Angels, go to www.soldiersangels.org. I have adopted soldiers through SA, support CSH's and write to our troops. The best thing I have aver done!

Squadron Patches

I knew that I'd seen that patch SOMEWHERE.
Go to the Pop-A-Smoke home site.Under the Freedom Hill PX heading,click on
Squadron Patches.
That'll take you to Al Hinton's web site.
Click on the heading "HELICOPTER SQUADRONS"
In the images,scroll down to the 14th line.Click to enlarge under the 2nd image from the left,sub heading,"ROUTINE MED-EVACS".
However irreverent,I believe that this is the patch is you're looking for AND
it conveys the right message to all who read it.
Hope I've helped & Semper Fi,MOM

S/F,Mike

I have 71 of these patches in stock at this time. When I get down to 10 I'll re-order another 100. Send me a good mailing address, and I'll get what you need in the mail to you. You can send me payment; check, money order, or cash when you get the patches. Semper Fi, Allyn Hinton "The Squadron Patch Guy"

Thank You for the response!

Just want to say thank you for the response! Allyn Hinton, I will be placing an order. When I e mailed my son to tell him that I found a source, he was very excited. I have to laugh at him because he said, "Mom, order a bunch, but don't spend too much." I'll ask him to define a bunch next time. I can't say enough to express what it means to me as a mom, as I learn more and more about the Marine Corp. My son has a great sense of pride about who he is and what he represents. When he was first assigned to the Ugly Angels Squadron, he tried to explain what an honor it was to be a part of this group. It wasn't until the young Marines in this Unit began to write to the various Soldiers Angels volunteers, about what it meant to be an "Ugly" and how you got the name, that I truly got a grasp of how honored and committed my son and these young men are. They have a real sense of pride and are devoted to upholding the tradition of excelence that this Squadron is noted for. As one young Marine said, "we have some big boots to fill"! There are quite a few Ugly Angel fans out there and I want to say that for the Marines who have served with this Squadron over the years, you are not forgotten. There are many more Americans that now know what you did. You are revered for your sacrifices and service and are endeared to the hearts of many Soldiers Angels, who now know who the Ugly Angels are. Thank You!
Kathy;)
