In Memoriam

On Oct. 23, 1983, a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon killed 241 U.S. Marines and sailors; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers
The Marines were in the 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit which consisted of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, my old regiment , and attached units, all from the 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Semper Fidelis, my brothers.
