To the Friends and Family of Company C, 1st Tanks,

The Marines of Charlie Company are doing well and staying very busy. We were recently given an additional mission to carry out and the Marines have embraced it wholeheartedly. It means that they are away from phones and internet for longer periods of time. So don’t be concerned, they are in great spirits and continue to accomplish every mission they are given. The NCOs, SNCOs and officers of this company are fully dedicated to ensuring the well being of your loved ones.

As the Company reaches its halfway point, you can be proud of the accomplishments your men have made so far. Everyone here misses our friends and family and looks forward to returning home in September. But rest assured, we are focused on our mission at hand and will remain focused until we arrive back in 29 Palms.

Thank you for your support and continued best wishes.

Semper Fidelis,
Jacob Butz
Commanding Officer, Charlie Company

Charlie Company Thanks
