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.

@Old_SchoolEddie They'll do the following:
1.) Seize the means of production.
2.) Expect someone else to maintain the means of production.
3.) Watch the means of production break down, fall apart, and stop working due to lack of maintenance.
4.) Fail to repair it to get it working again.
@TheMitchieSan@libsoftiktok I leave the vengeance part to God Himself, and comfort comes through people actually reaching out to members of the community - it's not magical that I'm praying for.
I've got friends and colleagues in Kansas, and already reached out to check in on them and their family.
Looking at the news headlines originating from Europe now, this feels like something I’d read in 1940, not 2026.
“What has been will be again,
and what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.”
