During the Lebanese Civil War, a multinational force including 800 U.S. Marines lands in Beirut to oversee the Palestinian withdrawal from Lebanon. It was the beginning of a problem-plagued mission that would stretch into 17 months and leave 262 U.S. servicemen dead.

I served with a Beirut veteran in 1985 and 1986. He had some great stories and some really bad nightmares. I haven't seen him since he rotated out. I hope he's doing well.
