I'm never sure how to answer this question properly, without sounding arrogant. It really bothers me when people make fantastic claims about their accomplishments, which I find that service members do a lot. So to avoid ever being lumped in with those individuals, I lean to the extreme other end of the spectrum. If asked, I generally tell people that I played an infantry support role, and I give few details even when pressed. Reconnaissance is supposed to gather information to support infantry operations, so I think it's fine to leave it at that.
But to be fair to myself, I did alot more than that. Rather than go on and on about it, I've posted a link to an article (the title of this post is the link) that a Marine Corps public affairs officer did on my platoon. Hopefully you find it interesting.
