I am looking for LtCol James A.McGinn or anybody that was with HMM-165 in 1976 in Subic Bay, Rp of the Philippines. It seems that I have lost all of my comrades that was over there with me. But if anybody has any information in regards to LtCol McGinn. PLEASE let me know! Semper Fi:D
Looking for Jim McGinn
Jim relieved me as CO of HMM 165 in 1975. I read an Obit in PoppaSmoke that he passed away a coupla years ago. Sorry, he was a good Marine.

Lt. Col. McGinn
Lt.Col McGinn passed somewhere around this time Three (3) years ago, the posting is on page two (2) of the obits. It was sent in by his daughter. He was my first pilot as a Crew/Chief in R.V.N. Good Marine, Good Man, Good Pilot!

LtCol McGinn reenlisted me in the RR of the LPH New Orleans circa 1975-1976.
I remember when he missed the ship pulling out from the dock in Subic and while we were steaming away he flew aboard as a pax from the Navy 53 squadron there... *No one suffered any penalites as I remembered for missing movement!
