A Note from The Virtual Wall

A Company, 3rd Engineers, lost two men on 01 Jul 1966:
  • Cpl Peter W. Baxter, New York, NY

Their names are engraved on a plaque which hangs in the Company command post of Combat Engineer Company, Combat Assault Battalion, 3d Marine Division on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan. CEC was Company C, 3d Engineer Battalion, and is the only part of the Battalion which has not been deactivated. The crest at the top of this page is derived from the emblem on the plaque.
