Retired Lt. Gen. Michael J. Byron gives a speech during the 3rd Marine Division Marine Corps birthday ball Nov. 15 at the Butler Officers’ Club on Camp Foster. Byron was the commanding general of 3rd Marine Division from 1991 – 1993. “This is more than just a Marine Corps Birthday Ball for me,” said Byron. “It’s more like a homecoming celebration.” Byron served as a member of the Marine Corps Reserve from 1959 – 1963. Upon graduating the University of Miami in 1963, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Marine Corps. His first time on Okinawa was as part of the unit deployment program with 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, and was in the first group of Marines from 3rd Marine Division to go to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Byron was the guest speaker for the ball.
