Officially Licensed USMC VMM-362 Ugly Angels Vietnam PVC Patch — Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 362 Ugly Angels Vietnam Heritage PVC Patch
The Ugly Angels in Vietnam — VMM-362's heritage PVC patch honoring the squadron's combat service in the Vietnam War, where the Angels earned their place in Marine Corps history.
Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 362 (VMM-362), the "Ugly Angels," traces its combat lineage to the Vietnam War, when the squadron — then designated HMM-362 — flew combat helicopter operations in Southeast Asia. This Vietnam heritage PVC patch honors that legacy, connecting VMM-362's current generation of Marines to the warriors who flew combat assault missions in the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam.
HMM-362 deployed to Vietnam and flew thousands of combat missions, inserting Marines into landing zones, extracting casualties, resupplying forward positions, and conducting assault transport operations in some of the most dangerous flying conditions in military history. Vietnam-era helicopter pilots flew into enemy fire daily, and the Ugly Angels' crews displayed extraordinary courage and skill throughout their combat deployments.
This PVC patch combines the Ugly Angels' Vietnam heritage design with durable PVC construction featuring an "Olaf" character element, creating a unique tribute that bridges the squadron's past and present. The Miramar-based Osprey squadron of today carries the same fighting spirit as the Vietnam-era helicopter unit.
Perfect For: VMM-362 Ugly Angels members and veterans, Vietnam War Marine helicopter veterans, HMM-362 alumni, Marine aviation heritage enthusiasts, and Vietnam-era military PVC patch collectors.
VMM-362 Ugly Angels Vietnam — from the jungles to the tiltrotor — the Angels have always been beautiful in combat.
