The rest of Charlie Company is inbound and Bravo Company,3 rd CEB platoons are wrapping up a successful tour. Just know that your <strong>Marine</strong>s that are herecurrently have worked their tails off and you should be proud of them. For those who have <strong>Marine</strong>sheading our way know that the task ahead of them is a challenging one and they should beready to go to work. Look forward to talking to you soon. So again, we are thankful for thosewho are at home supporting us and will keep you updated as much as possible on what is goingon here.Semper Fidelis.Captain Joshua Edwards, “Colossus 6”Company First Sergeant<strong>1st</strong>Sgt John J. Pettinato JrFamily and Friends and support groups ; we are here. I’d like to extend a special thank to Capt. Baliko& <strong>1st</strong>Sgt Walters for making the transition from garrison to combat seamless. This week the two companycommanders flew over the AO where the 3 Engineer Plts work and live. I can tell you first hand,everything I’ve seen on paper and power points dose not come close to how the battle field looks tothose living in it everyday. Lord Bless our <strong>Marine</strong>s and Sailors for the dedication and commitmentthey give freely day after day. I know less TV news is better out here, because even the smallest distractionstake away from the combat mindset. I want to save this space to wish A Co. (4th CEB) a safetrip home and job well done, your efforts and sacrifice will not be forgotten. For the family and friendsof Charlie Company we miss you and send our love.
