Hermano! Gracias 4 the links

Posted by MillRatUSMC aka Ricardo on 11/4/2015, 15:35:05, in reply to "Hermano! A 1st Recon Bn website I wish to share with you!"

I was a member of Charlie 1st Recon in 1962.
That means, I took part in what is known as the 'Missiles of October'.
Years removed, I learn it would be as close as we would come to a nuclear war.
I think we rate a certificate, not a combat ribbon.
But we answered the call.
My recon platoon was four hours from entering Cuba.
Years after in 1963-1965, I would be a member of Bravo 3rd Recon.
Only the lack of NCOs kept me from serving as a Recon Marine in Vietnam.
I was transfer to India/3/4, the rest is history.

Gracias again from your Hermano Ricardo
