WE REMEMBER
October 23, 1983 – Beirut, Lebanon

Today we pause to remember one of the darkest days in Marine Corps and American history — the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.

At 6:22 a.m., a truck packed with explosives crashed through the gates of the barracks housing members of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines — part of the Multinational Peacekeeping Force — and detonated with unimaginable force. Two hundred forty-one American servicemen were killed that morning: 220 U.S. Marines, 18 sailors, and 3 soldiers. Minutes later, a second bomber struck the French barracks, killing 58 more of our allies.

They were there as peacekeepers — young men serving far from home, standing guard in the name of freedom and stability. That morning became one of the worst in Marine Corps and American history.

Some of the surviving heroes are my friends. To this day, I think of their courage, their sacrifice, and the heartbreak that followed.

Today, we also send special thoughts and prayers to the Gold Star families who were made on that horrible morning. I know their pain — and I stand with them in remembrance, pride, and love for their sons and daughters who gave everything for this nation.

As a Marine Corps Gold Star father and a State Representative, I will always honor their memory and ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Semper Fidelis.
