My husband's DD214 lists him as part of 3d MAW, MAG 16 and HML 267 but I have reason to believe that in 1972 when he was on the USS Tripoli in Viet Nam, he was a part of the HMM 165. I want to obtain patches for the HMM 165 but I do not know which one is correct for the period and place.
Is there someone here who can help me with this knowledge?
