We must remember the history. We must tell what happened. Today, we remember and honor those lost in the Beirut Lebanon Marine Barracks bombing on the 40th anniversary of that cowardly attack. In those attacks, there were two separate attacks in one day, a total of 307 personnel were murdered. From the United States, 220 Marines, 18 sailors and 3 soldiers were killed. An additional 128 U.S. personnel were wounded. The French lost 58 Airborne troops and 15 were injured. We must remember their sacrifice in order to honor it.
