HMM-363 Cpl Hiram A. Hogg:
This is a good shot of the Large Black Water tower used to hold
the water for the showers. This is taken at the rear of the Barracks
at Phu Bai looking towards the Mess hall. You can see the water
truck refilling the water towers. The white one is under pressure
and was used for food preparation in the Mess hall. Both tanks could
be used in case of fire. Cpl Hiram A. Hogg is seen here in
uniform with no chevrons. Rank didn"t mean much in Nam.
However, you will notice the Combat Aircrew Wings. They we
always worn with GREAT PRIDE.

In Flight Lunch:
It was a frequent task in HMM-363 to take indigents to or from
some outpost. Makes you kind of wonder how this family fared
over the years.

Inside the club at Qui Nhon,'65:
I think that is Smiley Burnett"s back, with Larry Curtis looking
on the right. This picture was enlarged from 16mm film and all
others are too dim for me to recognize.

HMM-363 Crewmen, '65-'66:
These men were in my section, I regret that I cannot recall
their names. I believe that the one on the far right was a CPL
Mason, and in front is a CPL Todd. I pray that they are all well and
prosperous. They were TOPS.
