  • 40 years ago today, 220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and 3 Soldiers were killed in a bombing at the United States Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.
    The Marines were part of a multinational force of troops from the US, UK, France and Italy intent on fostering peace during the Lebanese Civil War. 58 French servicemen were also killed in the bombing.
    The sacrifice of our service members and the heroic efforts by Marines in the aftermath of the attack will never be forgotten.

    I was about to turn 12 when this tragedy took place. It effected me profoundly. In the hurt and anger I felt I swore with all of the earnestness a child can muster that I would become a United States Marine. I join in 1988 at 17, graduated Marine Corps boot camp in February 1989. I ended up serving with a Marine that was deployed to Beirut. As I watched the news coverage you all became heros to me that day, your loss, sacrifice and dedication to duty changed my life. I'm sorry for what happened and I'm proud of you. Thank you to all of those that were deployed and to the lives of the sailors and soldiers that were cruelly snatched away from us that day. You will always be remembered by me. Semper Fidelis.

      Yes the same enemy we face today and to make things even worse, this corrupted USA government has allowed our enemies to migrate to the USA and now we have to deal with home grown terrorists and criminals like if we don't have enough of that outside the USA. Screw Refugee. They end up becoming rebellion and anti Americans and support their back home country's terrorists groups.

    Today, it is officially forty years. There are no answers, even now, as to why this senseless tragedy had to happen, other than to say it was just pure hate, from people with a misguided, delusional sense of what they believed to be right, when in fact, it was just twisted brainwashing.
    For the survivors left behind, sadness and questions. How do we express our sorrow to them - over the loss of brothers - senselessly murdered? There are no words and I'm sorry, just doesn't work. How do we thank these men for their service? Thank You isn't nearly enough.
    As a now Retired Marine, having served for thirty two years, this isn't just a piece of history. This event was the reason I became a Marine. I needed answers to help the nine year old, kid sister, understand why my big brother was never coming home again. Unfortunately, I still don't have those answers and I'm still left with an old, cover and a pair of jungle boots.
    I remember the last time I saw you, in your winter alphas at memaws house, filling your plate, like this was the last meal, you'd ever eat. You went back for seconds and thirds and I think you could have eaten an entire pumpkin pie yourself, if memaw had let you. Lolol. I always wondered how you managed to eat so much, but stayed so skinny. Little did I know that less than a year later, we would be saying goodbye to you forever.
    Whether four years or now forty, you have never, ever been forgotten and never will be. I love you Denny. I miss you even today and will until I see you again. RIP Semper Fi.

    My late husband, Dr. John Hudson, USNR was the medical officer stationed in Beirut with 1/8, KIA that horrible day. Devastating day in history, for our country, for me and my 8 month old son. We will never forget. Thanks to and God bless all our servicemen who helped dig from the rubble with their bare hands to find the wounded and deceased, and bless all those who lived ….they gave it all and some still do. It was a totally untenable, useless and terrible political decision to send our men there to keep peace where there is none.

    I was a young Marine, stationed at Camp Butler in Okinawa. I remember this so well. I remember reading that our Marines were taking sniper fire every day, but they weren't allowed to have ammunition. It was a UN peacekeeping mission. The Enlisted Men's Club was called the "Can't Shoot Back Saloon." Our civilian leadership failed us. Make no mistake. It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in the history of the world. And tonight, there are 2,000 Marines aboard the USS Gerald Ford off the coast of Lebanon, waiting to wade ashore. We've learned nothing. Young men die in old men's wars. Semper Fidelis.

    In 1986 after bootcamp in 85 and field radio operator training at the stumps, I was sent to 3/11 on Pendelton at Las Pulgas. After a few months there another Marine, a black guy (I say black because things weren't the same now as then) was getting out and made a point to talk to me. He had seen that I didn't have a filter between black and white, we were the same to me. He went out of his way to tell me that I reminded him of a white Marine he was friends with that was in the barracks and he had just talked to him the night before while on radio watch during a normal radio transmissions. The Marine telling me this was on the other side of the airfield/airport and didn't even hear the blast he said. (I understood that because after a few months in an artillery unit you learn to be able to sleep thru the howitzer's firing while sleeping at night in the field when you had your chance to sleep) It still kind of haunts me that he went out of his way to talk to me all those years ago about a friend that died during that bombing. Just a memory I thought I'd share.

We were supposed to do a West-Pac cruise that year but they blew up the USMC barracks in Beirut Lebanon on 10/23/1983 killing almost 300 of Americas finest Devil Dogs. We steamed full speed from Rio to Beirut in less than a week and stayed on Bagel Station for nine months as part of the Multi National Peacekeeping Force flying around the clock almost the entire time. I logged over 1000 hrs flight time as a Helo crew chief during that cruise. We lost four aircraft from the Air-wing one to Syrian rocket fire and the Indy lost one as well.

    We were at CAX@ “Stumps” when this went down. . Crews was on guard and woke us up with this devastating news. Adrenaline pumped when put on Air Alert, readying for some PayBack and when told to Stand Down, the full spectrum of emotions for that reality hit. I’ve a feeling that Gen. Puller has formed one mean ass Brigade. RiP Marines.

    I served USMC 1980 to 1984 I was at Navy Base, Washington State when this happened, I remember it well, I of course didn't know any of the young men that lost their lives in Beirut, but they all were my brother Marines, I remember this well, our CO was visually very upset at hearing the news of this bombing, and the loss of life, he served in Vietnam, and knew only too well how it felt to lose so many of our young men, like this.
