HMM-262 Veterans Association
“The Old Tigers”
History and Purpose. This is the home page of HMM-262 Combat Helicopter Association LLC, DBA HMM-262 Veterans Association.
This Association exists to conduct reunions of those who served their country in or with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262 (HMM-262); to remember and honor their names and service, and to help preserve the history of HMM-262. Please join us, then come to our reunions and share your memories, real or imagined, with your old friends and comrades in arms.
Organization.The Association was created with no formal organizational structure; i.e., no charter, articles of incorporation, by-laws, IRS designation, etc. It was not a legal entity. It was just a bunch of old Marines trying to stay in touch with each other and their fading memories. The Association had a change of leadership in 2024 that is moving the Association toward the HMM-265 model at https://hmm-265.org. This HMM-262 website is a work in progress moving in that direction.
Website Access. There eventually may be a members-only area, but right now all material on the site is in the public area; no login is required to view it. We invite everyone to just wander through the menus and see what is there.
Posting links on the website. The Association will post on its website only those links that further the Association’s purposes. We will not knowingly post links to entities with any kind of profit orientation, no matter how indirect or tenuous. (Don’t even ask; we will simply mark it as “Junk” and block the domain.) We also will not knowingly post links to web sites or pages that are personal, political, racist, fascist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, genderphobic, misogynistic, jingoistic, anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, inflammatory, pornographic, obscene, or extravagantly stupid. Again, we will simply mark the request as “Junk” and block the domain. We will try to screen the material on the directly-linked pages, but cannot vouch for the other links that may be found on those pages and beyond. If you think we need to add or remove something please contact us at the link below.
Privacy Policy. We collect information only on members and membership applicants, which we use only in the pursuit of our stated purpose and do not share with anyone. We collect no information on visitors beyond what the technology requires for things like spam detection and monitoring. Further details are provided on a separate Privacy Policy page. Please contact us at the email link below with any questions.
Contact. If you have a suggestion or anything else to communicate (personal information update, RTB report, error correction, website change, etc.) please please email us with this link: Send Email
