“Throughout the past year, the Spartans have maintained extremely high professional standards and achieved superlative operational results,” these are the words of Gen. James T. Conway, commandant of the Marine Corps.

The Spartans, of which the commandant is referring, are Cherry Point’s own Marine Wing Communications Squadron 28.

The professionalism and dependability of MWCS-28 earned the squadron the Lt. Col. Kevin M. Shea Memorial Award, May 14.

The award highlights a communications or information technology unit that distinguishes itself by contributions to the Marine Corps command, control, communication and computers field, while supporting the warfighter in a tactical, operational or strategic environment.

“The Marines of MWCS-28 performed their mission superbly,” said Lt. Col. Jeffery O. Goodes, commanding officer of MWCS-28.

“Everyone, regardless of specialty, did their part so that all of MWCS-28 could be recognized,” said Goodes.
