[Bigiron] Patches-Needs a HM-16 Patch

[retiredaffairs at nhahistoricalsociety.org]

Thanks for your note Ronnie. 

NHAHS nor NHA have old or current squadron patches for sale nor access to
them.  My recommendation would be to reach out to the members of the HM-16
Facebook group on Facebook and see if you can find an original patch.  If
not keep your eye out on E-Bay for this item. Last option is to google
custom made patches as there are companies now who can do one offs of a
patch, at a reasonable fee. Feel free to download a copy of the HM-16 patch
logo image file off the NHAHS website to help the custom people make up a
patch if you cannot find an actual copy someone might want to give up.  

Good luck on this..I will also share your email to the BigIron Email
list(Navy H-53 Helicopter Community). Someone on that list might have an
extra HM-16 patch they could share with you....mgb

Sent from my iPhone good evening my name is Ronnie Terry and I have a family
member who was with the Navy HM-16 unit and I was trying to get a patch for
him for his jacket. Would you please email me at
<mailto:vterry59 at yahoo.com> vterry59 at yahoo.com.

He's getting up an age and we're trying to get him a surprise jacket for his
birthday and we would like to add Patch on with the field of the Patches on
the ships in helicopter squat. He served with thank you so much.
