I met a young Marine that was a victim of this bombing. He had his ear drums blown out. God bless our Marines!

Of course every recruit at PI and SD learn about this crime perpetrated upon their fallen brothers. The general public's minds may dim, but Marine's will remember.

We shall not forget that day in Beirut many years ago.

Revenge is the Lord's.

We'd best not be waiting on the Lord if we want to prevent more of the same.

After all, he helps those who help themselves.

We can wait on the Lord's revenge while we dispense Justice.. Well, I'll speak for myself.

I've seen His Revenge.

I guarantee I don't want to be on the receiving end.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I forgot to capitalize "He". That wasn't on purpose, just sloppy.

God Bless those kids I remember that day.

I will never forget and neither will my family. We fly the colors at half staff every October 22. The bombings were my inspiration for joining the Corps.

I was out with a friend that day, didnt hear the news until I came home, Mom asked me if I was going to re-enlist...I wondered what she was talking about...

I coulnd't talk for the next few days.

One of the fallen was from my home town. I never met him. Martachionne (sp?). He moved to NC in the Corps.

[Marine_Uncle]

Surely that was a terrible day for every Marine. We shall not forget what they where there for and why they where taken.

Mattacchione, Joseph J. ... USMC ... PVT .... 10/23/1983 .. NC .. Sanford, NC

He graduated with my youngest brother in 1981. His picture wasn't in the yearbook, only his name at the end of the pictures. From what my brother told me he moved into town in the 11th or 12th grade with his mother.
