Have you heard and read about the history of the First Composite Radio Company Fleet Marine Force Pacific?

One of our very own RP Members Sgt Tom Cunnally was a part of this unit. I reviewed their website and thought this was a great story to share. Take a look at the history!

This web site is the continuing story of a small group of Marines who found themselves assigned to the 1st Composite Radio Company, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii from 1959 to 1964. For some it was their first permanent assignment as Marines. For others it was a change of duty stations from U.S. Navy and Marine bases of operations from around the globe.
During that short span of time in Marine Corps history, they blazed a new trail in being the first United States Marines to put boots on the ground in Vietnam in 1962 and providing direct intelligence support to U.S. and Republic of Vietnam combat forces.

Go to the History link for a more complete history of the 1st Composite Radio Company. Since that time 1st Radio has evolved to 1st Radio Battalion, and has proudly been part of the current war in Iraq. The link on the left "Brothers at the Gates" is to honor and give remembrance to those members of the 1st Composite Radio Company who have passed away; take time to learn about them.
