On this day 36 years ago. 241 US Military service members were killed. Including 220 Marines when their Barracks in Beirut was bombed by a terrorist group. Most people don't know the importance of this day October 23, bu tI grew up hearing about and knowing about it. My dad lost his Marine brothers on that date. We must always remember our fallen. They weren't at war when this happened they were on a Peace Keeping mission.
