Officially Licensed HMM-362 Archie's Angels Patch — USMC Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron Legacy Embroidered Patch
"Archie's Angels" — the nickname that HMM-362 carried before they became the Ugly Angels.
HMM-362 was originally known as "Archie's Angels," named after Lieutenant Colonel Archie Clapp, who led the squadron during its earliest operations in Vietnam. In April 1962, HMM-362 became the first Marine helicopter squadron to deploy to Vietnam as part of Operation Shufly, flying UH-34D Seahorses out of Soc Trang in the Mekong Delta. Archie's Angels conducted the first Marine combat helicopter operations of the Vietnam War, establishing the precedent for the massive Marine helicopter commitment that would follow. This patch preserves the original identity of the squadron that started it all.
Perfect For:
HMM-362 Archie's Angels Vietnam veterans, Operation Shufly participants, UH-34D Seahorse crews, Marine helicopter Vietnam pioneers, and USMC Vietnam-era legacy patch collectors.
Archie's Angels. First Marines in Vietnam. 1962.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
