The Twins Platoon

The Television special “Spotlight-The Twins Platoon” originally aired in July 2007. It went on to win a regional Emmy for “Outstanding Documentary” and the Hatch Award for “Outstanding Marine Corps Documentary”. The military stories in the documentary are taken from the book “The Twins Platoon” by Christy Sauro. Fox Sports North (FSN) producer Trevor Fleck is pictured holding the awards.

The Twins Cities based Marine Wing Support Squadron 471 presented the author with a plaque for writing the book. The author was the 2006 Guest of Honor at 231st Marine Corps Birthday Ball. The plaque reads in part, “we wish to recognise your contributions to the history of the United States Marine Corps and the State of Minnesota.”
