25 years ago today.

25 years ago today a Hezbollah terrorist driving a stake bed truck carrying 12,000 pounds of explosives drove into the Marine Barracks in Beirut Lebanon, 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers were killed. This was the largest single day loss of Marine lives since the battle of Iwo Jima. R.I.P brothers, we will not forget.

Eternal Father, grant, we pray
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.
