Pettinato Jr Family and Friends of Charlie Company; I just wanted to drop an initial note to let you know things are going well out here. We have hit the ground running and for us that have been here for awhile, it is you back home that make our job worthwhile. So let me start with saying thank you for your support and prayers. The rest of Charlie Company is inbound and Bravo Company, 3 rd CEB platoons are wrapping up a successful tour. Just know that your Marines that are here currently have worked their tails off and you should be proud of them. For those who have Marines heading our way know that the task ahead of them is a challenging one and they should be ready to go to work. Look forward to talking to you soon. So again, we are thankful for those who are at home supporting us and will keep you updated as much as possible on what is going on here. Semper Fidelis. Captain Joshua Edwards, “Colossus 6” Family and Friends and support groups ; we are here. I’d like to extend a special thank to Capt. Baliko & 1stSgt Walters for making the transition from garrison to combat seamless. This week the two company commanders 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 to those living in it everyday. Lord Bless our Marines and Sailors for the dedication and commitment they give freely day after day. I know less TV news is better out here, because even the smallest distractions take away from the combat mindset. I want to save this space to wish A Co. (4th CEB) a safe trip home and job well done, your efforts and sacrifice will not be forgotten. For the family and friends of Charlie Company we miss you and send our love. To my dog Sirius “Listen to your mother, daddy loves you both” Always faithful First Sergeant Pettinato, “Colossus 8”
