Remembering Beirut

Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. David H. Berger and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Troy E. Black remember the 220 Marines, 18 U.S. Navy Sailors and three U.S. Army Soldiers who died Oct. 23, 1983 when terrorists attacked the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Staff Sgt. James R. Skelton).

    I wish our leaders would acknowledge a few more details about the events instead of these empty platitudes. Dear Commandant, who attacked? Why? What were their ideological reasons? Who were the "peaceful protesters" attacking and harassing the patrols? How do we honor our fallen by sanitizing history?

    I remember that day like it was yesterday. On October 7, 1983, I saw the Marine recruiter with the intent of enlisting. I was told I had to lose 30 pounds. Two weeks later the barracks bombing happened. That terrible day made me more determined to enlist in the Marine Corps. Those Marines in Beirut were a big inspiration to the point of losing 48 pounds and enlisting on March 30, 1984. I would like to pay tribute to Lcpl Luis Nava who was KIA that day. May you Marines NEVER be forgotten. 🇺🇸🦅

    Thirty seven hours, thirty seven months, thirty seven years. I wonder today (and everyday since losing you) what our families lives would have been like, if you were still here. I still remember the very last time I saw you in winter alphas, surprising everyone at memaws, during Thanksgiving dinner and the way memaw cried, because she didn't expect you to be home. I still have the last photo of you, that you sent to memaw, from Beirut. I never dreamed, it would be the last pic, I ever saw of you. For years, I'd wander around the front hallway in your spare pair of jungle boots and your cover on my head. Your loss, never quite understood for a nine year old little sister, but, news photos, that haunted me for years to understand why. Why would someone do this to my big brother and his fellow Marines? They were only there, to try to help. My fate decided by the act of terrorism, from that day. As I stand down from my career, after thirty years and four tours of combat served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I pray that I've made you proud of the service I gave to my country in your memory and the memory of all of our brothers that fell with you on that day. I love you Denny. I miss you and will continue to miss you, for the remainder of my life. RIP

    As I sat in my living room and watched the reports coming in from Beirut, I ws pissed off. As the hours went by, and the news ran the roster of names of Marines who lost their lives, I wept. No one there in that room that day felt the pain that ran thru me, and many others, nor do I ever expect them to. So, as I watched this years after it was posted and read your memorial to your bother, again, I find myself weeping, not only for the loss of your brother and our fellow Marines, but for some reason this shows up on the same day as I lost my son, 04/28/09. As long as there is someone alive that remembers them, then they are still here with us. Take care and Semper Fidelis, little sister.

I hope we still remember the hard lessons learned by not allowing our Marines to stand their guard post without ammunition for their firearms. Had they been allowed to have a loaded firearm, the events of that day would have been very different. Our brothers & their families paid a steep price for poor policies & decisions.

The Marines that were digging with their bare hands trying to rescue the people in the building. Also, the sadness knowing when I was going home for Christmas in December (WM bootcamp was only 9 weeks long in those days) that these Marines would not be home for Christmas again. Semper Fi.

    Yes, same here I went to boot camp at MCRD in San Diego California and arrived just a couple of weeks after you on November 7, 1983. After graduation I got assigned to go to Sea School and got orders to be on the USS Dwight D Eisenhower Nuclear aircraft carrier guarding the ships nuclear weapons. While we were crushing the Mediterranean sea around, April 1984, Marines on the ship were told to suit up with full combat gear to be deployed to Beriut Lebanon due to some unexplained hostile situation but as we were standing by, the orders were cancelled for unknown reason. I believe President Regan declared the start of War Against Terrorism immediately after the Marine Corps Barracks booming and it became a "Campaign" event declaration. There is never any such thing as "Peace Time". The dam VA is saying that I served in the military from 1983 till 1987 during Peace Time? Bologna! The VA has the nerve to insult Marines who were on active duty on and after the bombing of the Marine Corps Barracks in Beriut Lebanon to label us as serving during Peace Time. Bullshit, there is never Peace!

    I was there and always think about it. Probably one of the things that stuck out to me during the rescue and recovery was all the pictures laying in the orange mud, and seeing all those photos of family and friends all scattered around. My heart broke for those people and still does. When I got out of the service and returned home to New York and try to mentally escape October 23, 1983, only to be working in NYC on September 11, 2001, and once again seeing pictures on the fences looking for missing loved ones. It brought me back to Beirut mentally, and it hasn't left me. For those of you, I don't know, and lost a loved one 39 years ago my heart goes out to you and I think of my fallen brethren every day.

    I deployed with the HS-7 Dusty Dogs as a rescue swimmer on board the USS John F Kennedy. 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. To all who served and the Devil Dogs on the Beach "Fair wind and following seas" brother's, it was an honor to serve with you all! 10/23/83, never forget.

From marching 200 miles across a desert in Africa, to Defending Paris, to so many battles in WW II, and now Lebanon. I stand is awe of what the Corp has accomplished. They truly stand guard at the gates of Heaven. May you always be remembered an honor for you sacrifice and dedication. Saying Semper Fi is not enough. God Bless the US Marine Corp.

    These Marines were brought home via the mortuary at Dover AFB, Delaware. I was a 24-year-old Airman First Class working in the Public Affairs Office at Dover. Since I was a 79131 broadcasting specialist it fell to me to be one of the media escorts for the networks that came to the base for the memorial service in a hangar built to house a C5 Galaxy. That hangar was huge, and it was filled with flag-draped caskets and TV and print cameras on flatbed semi trailers so the media could get good pictures over the heads of the crowds of people there for the memorial. The memory of seeing so many caskets like that will always haunt me. Even though I was half a world away from the bombing the events nevertheless came to impact me very personally.

    This tragedy occurred a few years before I came into this world but I know full well of the cowardly actions of the perpetrator, I know of the lives lost, I know of the heroes who came to their aid, but how do I know this you ask, I had an Uncle who was there, who to this day refuses to discuss it, who is so stubborn he'll not admit he has PTSD! My knowledge comes from reading, even 37 years later there are no words to describe America's sense of loss!
