Message: I'll keep this short. I'm a Police Investigator in Southern California. During an investigation my partner found a 1st Recon Paddle in the possession of a crook. As a former Marine (1992-2003) I understand the importance of it.

The Paddle has a plate on it with the owners name. I want to put it out on your website in the hope someone may know this guy.

If you'd send me a email address I can send pictures. It is specific to a Comm Unit assigned to 1st Recon 1991-1994. Or call me and we can speak about it.

hey Floyd sorry can't help locate not familiar with this Marine

Floyd, Lt. Walt Reed here and was with 1st Recon Charlie Company, in Chu Lia, OPCon to 3Rd Recon in 65-66, because 1st Recon was not in county.
When I left county I was presented with such a paddle. I am so proud of that paddle

Thanks Floyd.

 

Name doesn’t ring with me but was many years after my times in 1stReconBn, 3dReconBn and 3dForRecCo.  That said, opening folks on my Recon Sub-net/etc.  Perhaps someone has some info on him.

Floyd,

I applaud your proactive efforts to locate the owner of this paddle, however, my vintage with 1st Recon is extremely dated. That said,I will share this with some Marines/Corpsmen that just might have an idea.

Best wishes and appreciation for your determined efforts!
