In Remembrance of Beirut

#OTD in 1983, a terrorist bombing at the Marine Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, claimed the lives of 241 U.S. service members, including 220 Marines, serving as part of the Multinational Force in Lebanon.

On October 23, a suicide bomber drove a truck laden with explosives into the barracks where U.S. Marines were stationed on a peacekeeping mission. The attack devastated the building and became one of the deadliest days in Marine Corps History.

The Marines in Beirut were deployed to help restore peace and stability amid escalating violence in Lebanon. Despite the dangers they faced, they carried out their mission with courage, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to one another.

The Beirut bombing left a lasting mark on the #MarineCorps and the nation. We remember the lost lives, honor the wounded and survivors, and recognize the families and loved ones who continue to carry the weight of that day. Their sacrifice remains woven into the legacy of every #Marine who has answered the call to serve.

Today, we pause to remember the 241 American service members who never made it home and honor their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty.

They came in peace. They will never be forgotten.

Semper Fidelis

[Sergeant Major Carlos A. Ruiz @USMCSgtMaj]

We can have all the weapons and equipment in the world, but #technology alone cannot win a fight.

#Marines do.

Spending time in the Middle East was a reminder that no matter how much #combat evolves, the individual #Marine will always be our most important asset.

Happy 251st Birthday, @USNavy!

For 251 years, the U.S. Navy has answered the call – sailing farther, fighting harder, and strengthening the maritime force alongside Marines around the globe.

Happy birthday, Shipmates!

Hello, Fall! 🍂

As the seasons begin to change, so does the pace of the Toys for Tots mission.

Across the country, local Toys for Tots Chapter Coordinators and volunteers are already hard at work preparing warehouses, organizing donations, and laying the foundation for another impactful Toys for Tots Holiday Campaign. While many people associate our mission with the holiday season, the work of delivering hope begins long before the first toy is placed under the tree.

Every pallet unloaded, every shelf stocked, and every volunteer who lends a hand brings us one step closer to creating joyful holiday memories for children in need.

The season of giving is almost here—and we can't wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned. ❤️🎁

Their Sacrifice Endures

On National POW/MIA Day, we honor the American service members who were taken as #PrisonersofWar and those who remain #MissinginAction.

We remember their courage.
We honor their sacrifice.
And we reaffirm our commitment to never leave them behind.

Until they are home, they are not forgotten.
