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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Mike Brattland CDR USN (Ret.)</span></i></b><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Vice President, NHAHS & NHAHS/NHASF Webmaster</span></i><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#2D3E4F'> </span></b><b><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>(NHA) LTM #70 R-12230 CGAA LTM P-5463<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'> P.O Box 180578<span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Coronado, California 92178-0578<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>619 454-0496 Cell<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><a href="mailto:retiredaffairs@nhahistoricalsociety.org"><span style='color:#0563C1'>retiredaffairs@nhahistoricalsociety.org</span></a> <a href="mailto:retiredaffairs@nhascholarshipfund.org"><span style='color:#0563C1'>retiredaffairs@nhascholarshipfund.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><a href="mailto:mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com"><span style='color:#0563C1'>mgbrattland@gerlecreek.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><a href="www.nhahistoricalsociety.org%20"><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>www.nhahistoricalsociety.org</span></a> <a href="http://www.nhascholarshipfund.org/"><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>www.nhascholarshipfund.org</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>-----Original Message-----<br>From: Ronnie Terry <vterry59@yahoo.com> <br>Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2025 4:20 PM<br>To: retiredaffairs@nhahistoricalsociety.org<br>Subject: Patches</p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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.
