Officially Licensed USMC HMR-362 Patch — Marine Helicopter Transport Squadron Embroidered Patch
HMR-362 — the transport squadron that became the Ugly Angels.
HMR-362 was the helicopter transport squadron designation that evolved into HMM-362, the legendary "Ugly Angels" — the first Marine helicopter squadron to deploy to Vietnam in 1962 as "Archie's Angels" under Lt. Col. Archie Clapp. In the HMR era, the squadron was developing the helicopter transport concepts that would be tested in combat just a few years later in Southeast Asia. This patch captures the squadron's pre-Vietnam transport identity.
Perfect For:
HMR-362 veterans, Ugly Angels lineage enthusiasts, early Marine helicopter transport aviators, and USMC legacy squadron patch collectors.
