Thank you for posting this and this is the first time I have seen a site that had such good information on the cowardly bombing.

We owe those scumbags payback. Big time.

I'd like to call for a proportional response!

Seems like we forgot to do anything to pay back this among other acts and declarations of war by the islame-o-ranian murder regime!

Paybacks!!!!!! Mulla eFerrr!!!!

You want nukes? yer gawna get-em!

I'll never forget it. The timing would be right to exact revenge.

241 Marines Killed in Beirut

And how did the U.S. punish Hezbollah and Iran?

3 Americans killed in Gaza Strip blast

October 16th, 2003
"Gaza Strip — A remote-controlled bomb exploded under a U.S. diplomatic convoy Wednesday, ripping apart an armored van and killing three Americans in an unprecedented deadly attack on an official U.S. target."

"The attack targeted a convoy of U.S. Embassy diplomats heading to Gaza to interview Palestinian candidates for a Fulbright scholarship, Bush said."

And how did we punish the Palestinians? We send them $$$.

Our mission in Beirut was a mistake that was doomed to failure, but we did our best given the constraints. Our nation learned the hard way that there is no peace until one side gains a decisive hand and all sides want peace. And we learned that peacekeeping is not possible until there is a peace to keep.

Thank you for remembering my old shipmates, and for your post. We can honor them best by crushing the terrorists, especially Hizb'Allah, and never granting them a safe haven in which to fester. Two down (Afghanistan and Iraq) and now two to go (Syria and Iran).

Your website mistakenly notes the date of "October 22, 1983" in connection with the truck bomb attack on the BLT 1/8 headquarters building. The actual date was Sunday, October 23, so you might want to make that correction.

Thanks again. Semper Fidelis...

The IDF is helping pay respect to the memory of our fallen soliders with a continuous gun salute right now. God Bless Israel.

Semper Fi Marines!

And please, don't forget the 58 French soldiers who died the same day in another suicide attack.

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

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.
